The Federal Reserve is taking a wait-and-see approach to economic uncertainty, while Trump's tariff policy poses dual risks of inflation and unemployment.

In the face of increasing uncertainty in the economic outlook, the Federal Reserve announced on May 8 to maintain the federal funds rate in the range of 4.25%-4.5%. This decision resisted the pressure from President Trump to quickly cut interest rates. The federal funds rate, as a benchmark for short-term borrowing between Banks, directly affects the loan rates for businesses and Consumers, and is an important tool for the Federal Reserve in managing the economy. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated at the press conference that current economic data has not yet reflected the full impact of trade policies, but potential risks are rising. In particular, the uncertainty stemming from Trump's tariff policies could lead to inflation rising simultaneously.
