According to Odaily Planet Daily, the U.S. Federal Reserve has announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut and continued balance sheet reduction. This is the first rate cut by the Fed since December 2024, and two more rate cuts are expected this year. Some analysts point out that one of the main considerations for the Fed's rate cut is the downward pressure from weak employment. The Fed's "dual mission" of combating inflation and ensuring employment is undergoing a fine-tuning, with stabilizing employment becoming a priority. However, due to the continued negative impact of policies such as tariffs and immigration on business and consumer confidence, the U.S. economy may find it difficult to reverse its overall slowdown. Furthermore, the cumulative effect of rate cuts and tariffs could make the Fed's goal of controlling inflation even more difficult to achieve.
