{"content":"Powell’s Key Speech: Rate Cuts on the Horizon?
In his most pivotal speech of the year, Jerome Powell hinted that the Fed is leaning toward a September rate cut as inflation cools toward the 2% target and the labor market shows signs of weakness.
🔑 Main Takeaways:
• Inflation: Progress toward 2%, though risks from tariffs and geopolitics remain.
• Jobs: Slowing momentum justifies easing borrowing costs.
• Policy Tools: Fed remains data-dependent, with QE still in the toolkit.
• Markets: Cheaper credit could ease consumer pressure and potentially fuel asset rallies — including crypto.
💡 Educational Insight: The Fed funds rate is the benchmark for loans. When it’s cut, borrowing becomes cheaper → more spending, higher liquidity. For investors, CPI reports remain the key indicator to watch.
Powell noted tariffs may act as one-off price shocks rather than sustained inflation, stressing the Fed’s dual mandate: stable prices and maximum employment.
📊 With September’s FOMC meeting approaching, markets are already pricing in a cut — setting the stage for potential bullish momentum across equities and crypto.
