The Fed hardens its stance against the world! Two votes of rebellion mean nothing, Powell has nailed the interest rate at 4.5%!



Damn! This is the fifth time! The Fed, those ruthless guys in suits, don't even blink, and they have the interest rate pinned at the volcano's edge of 4.25%-4.5%. The White House's phone calls are smoking? The market is crying out for help? No use! Powell, with a cigar in his mouth and his legs crossed, says: "Lower interest rates? Those two words don't exist in my dictionary!"

What's even more outrageous is that there's a revolt within the ranks! Waller and Bowman directly slammed the table and revolted — it's the first time since the old guard retired in 1993 that the Fed Board has exploded with a double whammy! This old rascal Waller has been holding in his succession ambitions, just two weeks ago he was hypocritically calling for rate cuts, and then he turns around and stabs Powell in the back. Bowman is even more outrageous; last year he was waving the "rate hike flag" like a bandit, and this year he instantly transforms into the "rate cut vanguard." This is no monetary policy meeting; it's clearly the Wall Street version of "Game of Thrones!"

Do you know what is the scariest? The knife of tariffs is hanging over the heads of the common people!

The bosses are playing the fool now, hoarding goods desperately before the tariffs hit, gritting their teeth and afraid to raise prices—scared of scaring off the cash-strapped consumers. But do you think they are saints? Wait until the day the inventory runs low, and see if those small business owners flip the table! At that time, when prices explode, the numbers on your paycheck won't even be enough to buy a loaf of bread! Powell and his crew are staring at the inflation data as if they have Parkinson's, clearly the prices went crazy in 2021 and have already calmed down, and the economy hasn’t collapsed, yet they still dare not touch the interest rate, afraid of igniting the embers of inflation.

Wednesday's data is pretty damn magical: GDP growth of 3.0% sounds impressive, right? But when you take a closer look – private consumption growth has plummeted from 2.9% at the end of last year to 1.2%! The average person's wallet has already been hollowed out by inflation, and now the tariff club is swinging back in, who dares to spend money? Economists are spitting mad: "The labor market is as soft as mud, tariffs are sucking blood down to the bone, and it's a miracle if the economy isn't limping!"

The Trump administration is still preaching: "Tariffs benefit the long-term future of America?" "High-paying jobs falling from the sky?" Nonsense! Do the 15% tariffs from the US, Japan, and Europe look gentler than the 25% threatened in April? A dull knife cutting flesh hurts even more! What's more insidious is that this old madman Trump can flip the table and escalate at any time, and those old folks in the courts might jump out and tear up the agreement — this policy gambling table is darker than the casinos in Macau!

Tax cuts add fuel to the fire, the Fed is being roasted on the fire.

The White House just dropped a tax cut bomb, and those Republican lunatics actually want to give money directly to the people? The economy, this old horse, has already run itself into a froth, and they still want to whip it? If they lower interest rates now, once the labor market is stimulated into a frenzy by this aphrodisiac, Powell will immediately become the biggest fool in the history of the Fed!

Wall Street gamblers bet on a 66% chance of a rate cut in September—hilarious! These guys don’t even know if they’ve lost their own underwear, and they dare to bet on the fate of the country? Want to cut rates? First, see if the tariff monster can be contained! Then, see if the job market will crash!

The Fed is more divided internally than the map of the United States:

Radicals with red eyes scolded in the streets: "The interest rate is high enough to choke an elephant! Inflation has already gone limp! If interest rates are not lowered soon, who will take the blame for the collapse of employment?"

The conservatives trembled as they slammed the table: "Raising tariffs in summer drives up prices like a wildfire, and now you want to cut interest rates? Aren't you worried that inflation's coffin is not nailed down enough?"

Everyone is waiting for the September data to give a clear answer, but what if the economy continues to be half-alive? Powell will have to stand alone on the gallows—his left hand holding the rebel flag, his right hand wielding the interest rate knife, and underfoot, the creaking national wallet.

Former Fed Vice Chairman Clarida broke the window paper: "The data is as rotten as spoiled porridge now—no guts to cut rates, no face to celebrate! That old fox Powell is likely to be a statue for six years!"

When the small bosses clear their inventory and grit their teeth to raise prices, do you guess the first to break the bottom line of the common people will be the gas station? The supermarket? Or the tuition bills for the kids? The bloody price-cutting knife has been sharpened to a shine - while the Fed's group of gods is still arguing in the clouds! #Fed Interest Rate Decision $ETH
