According to WuShuo, Thomas Barkin, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, said that despite uncertainty about the policies that the Trump administration may adopt, the outlook for the U.S. economy in 2025 is optimistic.

Barkin pointed out that upside risks outweigh downside risks, financial market confidence has increased and uncertainty has decreased, which is consistent with the Fed's expectation of a slower pace of interest rate cuts over the next year.
