Market Sentiment
- The combination of the Fed’s steady rate policy and the administration’s aggressive trade measures has led to a cautious market outlook. Investors are balancing optimism about domestic economic resilience with concerns over potential disruptions from international trade tensions.
- Federal Reserve’s Decision: The Fed maintained the federal funds rate at 4.25% to 4.50%, citing stable economic growth and a low unemployment rate.
- Fed’s Outlook: Chair Powell emphasized a cautious approach, indicating no immediate plans to adjust rates and highlighting the need to assess the economic impacts of forthcoming policies from the Trump administration.
- Presidential Response: President Donald Trump criticized the Fed’s decision, attributing ongoing inflation issues to the central bank’s policies and pledging to address inflation through measures such as enhancing energy production, deregulation, and trade adjustments.
- Economic Reports today: ECB CPI Expectations and US Core PCE.
Overall, while the U.S. economy continues to exhibit strength, uncertainties stemming from trade policies and geopolitical factors are contributing to a mixed market sentiment.
