Fed Chair Powell on the 'two-sided' risks of deciding when to cut rates

The Federal Reserve held steady on interest rates at the conclusion of its March meeting, and it’s sticking with its forecast for three interest rate cuts. During a news conference Fed Chair Jerome Powell noted that a strong jobs market wouldn’t deter the central bank from cutting rates.

It’s all BS why is the borrower the one to pay for the mismanagement of the economy by the governments

They can't cut rates for years. There is so much cheap debt pressurized in the system, inflation is constantly about to blow up out of control. If they lowered, say 1/2 a percent it would quickly be followed with a hike of 1% or even 1.5% and followed by more hikes for months if not years.

If the economy is so strong, and the labor market is so tight, where are all the tax revenues to prove it? Last I checked, the government is $1 trillion short every 100 days.

Just keep the interest rates how they are.

Inflation has already come back cpi was higher

[BryanKatzman-hn]

Inflation isn’t coming down. Inflation is an expansion of the money supply and credit.

Inflation to the moon!
