🔥【Federal Reserve ends the year with a "rate cut package," but Trump calls out "not enough"】
The Federal Reserve's final meeting has concluded, with Powell delivering the third consecutive rate cut, totaling 75 basis points, bringing the interest rate down to 3.5%-3.75%. As a result, Trump immediately criticized: "Not aggressive enough, it should have been doubled!"
Is this a positive signal or a hidden mine? Let's take a look together.
🎯 Reasons for optimism
The cost of borrowing has become cheaper. The rate-cut cycle is expected to continue, with financing costs for businesses and individuals steadily decreasing.
Powell stated that the policy is "approaching neutral," and the economy has "sufficient buffer." He also specifically mentioned productivity gains brought by AI, implying that an accommodative stance may persist for a long time.
Risk assets are most affected by this.
📉 But there are hidden risks
Core PCE inflation is still at 2.8%, so it's not entirely optimistic. Powell is also concerned that tariffs could prolong the inflation cycle.
More painfully, he said he does not set a preset path and that decisions are made "one meeting at a time," leaving ample room for maneuver.
The market has spotted the pattern: this decision is essentially "dovish but lukewarm." Even usually hawkish members ultimately approved.

A 75 basis point rate cut sounds like a lot, but looking at Trump's expression, you can tell the market will still change.
If Trump really takes over, Powell's set of "ambiguous" operations will probably backfire.
The crypto world is just taking this uncertainty, when money is cheap, no one dares to enter the market.
B啦, uncertainty is the key variable in this wave of market trends.
Rate cuts are the fundamentals, political factors are the catalysts.
Powell said "one decision per meeting," which is basically shifting the blame to Trump.
Leaving such a large room for maneuvering for himself, maybe he's not very confident either.
It's really hard to say how long the AI concept can last; tariffs come, and it's all for nothing.

What does a rate cut matter, the key is still what Trump guys want to do next
---
Borrowing money is cheap but no one dares to borrow, that's the real truth
---
Powell's "lukewarm" stance has also made my head dizzy
---
Just want to know when ETH can return to five digits, everything else is虚的
---
Trump shouted "not enough," and I knew the market still has to continue to toss
---
Feels like this decision reserved a backup for everyone, no one should try to gamble to death
---
2.8% inflation and still want to pretend nothing's wrong? Wake up, everyone

Cutting interest rates is a good thing, but as soon as Trump opens his mouth, he shoots himself in the foot. The market probably still depends on how he stirs things up.

The rate cut has been implemented, but Trump's statement is the real bearish signal... As soon as this guy finished speaking, the crypto market started to shake, and we can't tell what he's going to stir up next.

This guy Trump is really greedy and insatiable, like a snake swallowing an elephant. He's not satisfied even after the rate cut... By the way, can ETH break new highs this time and continue its upward trend?
