1. Red Line Statement (December 23): Trump posted on social media, drawing a hard line that interest rates must be lowered for the economy to improve, stating, "Anyone who disagrees with my viewpoint can never become the Federal Reserve Chair," and requires the new chair to consult with the White House on interest rate decisions.

2. Core Demands: Criticizing the market paradox of "good news = bad news"; calling for the benchmark interest rate to be lowered to around 1% or even lower, far below the current range of 3.5%-3.75%, to support the real estate market and alleviate voters' cost of living anxiety.

3. Candidate Progress: The list has been narrowed to 3-4 people, to be announced in the coming weeks; leading candidates include National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Walsh, and Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller is also included.

4. Market and Policy Status: On December 23, the annualized GDP growth rate for the U.S. in the third quarter was 4.3% (above expectations), the S&P 500 rose for 4 consecutive days to reach a historic high, and the "good news = bad news" trend did not appear; the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates for the third consecutive time this month to 3.5%-3.75%, with 3 officials opposing, and the FOMC is undecided on further rate cuts.

5. Institutional Views: Front Barnett executives stated that the "good news = bad news" paradox has existed for a long time, and economic fundamentals and corporate profits will ultimately dominate market interpretations. #特朗普家族币
