The "New Federal Reserve News Agency" reports that the Federal Reserve will adjust its framework for interest rate setting, acknowledging that the era of long-term low interest rates may have come to an end.

Nick Timiraos stated that in a world where it is no longer certain whether there will be ultra-low interest rates, Powell is guiding a new Global Strategy. The Federal Reserve is about to adjust its framework for setting interest rates, which is unlikely to affect current policy decisions, but acknowledges that the era of 'long-term low rates' may have ended. This review by the Federal Reserve reflects on the shortcomings of the framework established in 2020—especially its failure to adapt to a wide range of economic scenarios, even when those scenarios seemed unlikely to occur at the time. This review is expected to retain the core concepts of the Federal Reserve's framework, including the 2% inflation target, and ensuring that the public believes the Federal Reserve will maintain low and stable inflation as a key mission.

USD forecast: PPI data fell short of expectations, and Powell's warning dampened market sentiment, leading to a drop in the USD.

On Thursday (May 15), during the European market period, as market optimism regarding the 90-day tariff suspension between the USA and China began to fade, the dollar fell broadly. The USD (DXY) reversed most of its gains from the beginning of the week, with investors turning to safe-haven currencies like the yen and the Swiss franc. Although the tariff ceasefire initially eased market concerns about economic recession, MacroHive strategist Benjamin Ford pointed out that the market has "exhausted" the positive impact of the statement. A Bloomberg report clarified that the USA did not seek a dollar depreciation in trade negotiations, but ongoing concerns about fluctuations in trade policy and the Global perception of US assets.
