Powell once again shows hawkish attitude! Today's interest rate meeting raised interest rates by 25 basis points as scheduled. Powell still maintained a tough stance at the press conference and gave no sign that interest rates had peaked. 😉

What is more noteworthy is that Powell once again reiterated his "higher, longer" stance and warned the market not to be too optimistic, which will force the Fed to tighten even more. At the same time, Powell also made clear the impact that the Black Sea war situation may have on U.S. and Federal Reserve policy.
