The latest monetary policy meeting of the Federal Reserve has concluded, and its key decisions have sparked extensive discussion and analysis in the financial markets.

Two core results of the meeting are worth noting: First, the Federal Reserve has chosen to keep the current benchmark interest rate level unchanged, temporarily shelving the long-anticipated interest rate cut by the market; second, although Federal Reserve officials hinted that there might still be two rate cuts of 25 basis points each by the end of the year, these adjustments are likely to be delayed until after the end of the third quarter.

This policy stance immediately triggered a strong reaction from Trump after it was announced. He expressed his dissatisfaction on social media, claiming that he should take over the responsibilities of the Federal Reserve, and this statement once again sparked discussions about the independence of central banks.

Market analysts point out that the recent Federal Reserve decision indicates that inflation data remains a primary focus for decision-makers, and economic resilience allows them to maintain patience while waiting for clearer signs of inflation cooling. Investors now need to reassess their previously overly optimistic interest rate cut timeline and adjust their investment strategies to adapt to this new situation.
