Powell's most crucial signal this time is actually just one sentence: The current interest rate level is pretty good, and there will be no immediate changes.
How to understand this? It means the Federal Reserve believes that the current interest rate has reached the appropriate level, and there is no need to further raise rates to curb inflation or to cut rates to stimulate the economy. Whether to make adjustments next depends on subsequent data—employment, inflation, GDP, and other indicators need to be continuously monitored.
In simple terms, it's about holding steady and waiting for the market to provide a clearer direction. Other wording changes are basically routine operations and shouldn't be over-interpreted.

Doing nothing? That just means holding tight and waiting to see the data.

Holding your ground? Who are you waiting for to blink first? Most likely, it's retail investors who will collapse first.

Powell's "stay steady and don't move" approach, to put it simply, is just waiting for the data to speak for itself. There's nothing new about it.

The meaning of "holding steady" is essentially gambling—betting that inflation truly comes down, betting that employment won't collapse. In short, it's all about looking at the data.

Hold your ground? Old man Bao is planning to slowly boil the frog. Anyway, we'll be the retail investors to get cut first.

Doing nothing is the right move; anyway, whether they cut rates or not, someone will criticize. The Federal Reserve's current stance is very stable.

Doing nothing for now, just waiting for data signals. This round, Powell is still playing quite cautiously.
