BREAKING: The FED Just Flipped - Money Printing Is BACK! Episode 34
from The News Minute USA · host Daniel M. Johnson
THE FED PIVOT: Jerome Powell, the Fed Chair, usually avoids surprises. The central bank prefers to signal its intentions early so markets have time to prepare. Recently, he gave the strongest indication yet that rate cuts may be on the horizon. He warned of “downside risks” to employment, meaning layoffs could rise sharply. This was a major shift from only weeks earlier when the Fed strongly resisted cuts, even as Trump demanded aggressive easing. Powell stressed that the Fed remains independent of politics and decisions will be based solely on economic data. Still, rate policy is determined by a vote among 12 members (not Powell alone) so the upcoming meeting will be critical.
