POWELL:

The US economy is in surprisingly good shape

We are moving very quickly with rates

I am very pleased with where monetary policy is right now

Trump said the same thing in private during his first administration as he did publicly

The unemployment rate is still very low, and there is progress in the fight against inflation

The Fed is trying to take an intermediate position where policy is less restrictive so that inflation can decrease without harming the labor market

We are modeling, reviewing, and assessing Trump’s tariff proposals

The US budget is on an unsustainable path; better alignment of revenues and expenditures is necessary.$BTC $ETH $SOL
