Another scene in the economic drama of 2025 was staged. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and President Donald Trump. The venue is Washington, DC, and the stage is the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
In conclusion, the Fed froze its key interest rate again. To be precise, it froze for the fourth time in a row at **4.25-4.50%**. At this point, the "Fed's wait-and-see mode" has definitely hardened.
1. "Lower interest rates!" vs. "We'll still wait."
President Trump seems to be quite angry these days. He boasts of good economic indicators, but he does not hide his dissatisfaction with the Fed. In front of reporters, he shoots back at Powell as if he is determined to "loser" and "Mr. Too Late." In the end, the president openly calls for interest rates to be lowered by 2 percentage points.
But Powell doesn't blink. He sticks to his old position, saying **"I'll see more economic trends." He reiterated that it's economic data, not politicians, that drives interest rates.
2. What's inside of YEONJUN?
There is a sentence like this in the Fed's announcement.
"Inflation remains somewhat higher."
"Uncertainty remains in the economic outlook."
In other words, it is not the time to cut interest rates yet. There are concerns that lowering interest rates too early or too much could revive the spark of inflation.
3. Trump's tariff policy, how does the Fed view it?
Powell also made clear comments on the effects of tariffs.
"Prices are already showing up in PC, audio, visual equipment, etc."
"Tariffs could stimulate prices in the short term."
"But the impact remains uncertain."
In other words, there is a shock to the economy from tariffs, but no one can guarantee how far the shock will go or how long it will last. This is why Powell is not rushing to adjust interest rates.
4. The wait-and-see is not 'incompetent'
Powell says this.
"Right now, we're in a good position to wait."
This does not mean "I missed my chance after a while." It is a principle-based declaration that it will carefully decide its direction until sufficient data is accumulated.
In fact, the Fed chairman is not a position to please politicians. His job is to be a neutral coordinator to protect the economy of the people. Powell seems to have not forgotten his duty.
5. At the end of the day
The confrontation between Trump and Powell is likely to continue in the future. The tug-of-war over interest rates and how the economic fallout of tariffs will materialize in the future, the market cannot let go of its tension.
"If it were you, would you lower interest rates now?"
The answer is not Trump or Powell, but data and markets will tell you.
