|English Version|
Despite the expectation on rate hold coming true, the real focus is on the dot plot, economic projections, and Powellβs tone. Here is what you should be aware of:
Dot pot and Powellβs tone
The Federal Reserve held the interest rate steady at 4.50% this time, and the dot plot hints at two more rates cut (50 bps) this year.


Powell cited that βweβre at a place where we can cut or we can hold,” leaving out the possibility of having a rate hike and yet, he also aims to shrink down the balance sheet βmore slowlyβ by letting the pace of runoff its security holding beginning next month (reduce QT a bit).
This move is shown as a dovish leaning with the FED trying to keep track of both economic slowdown and potential higher inflation. He neither abandons the quantitative tightening or fully enters the quantitative easing, whose primary goal is to avoid pushing the financial system too hard amid money-market tightness and debt ceiling uncertainty.
Economic Outlook and Future Projection
Powell acknowledged a recent weakening in economic growth due to Trumpβs ambitions on tariff policy changes that have already caused negative turmoil on the economic outlook and risked inflation even more.Β
In fact, the FED downward revision on the economic growth, while heightening the risk of inflation and the unemployment rate higher, all of these are raising more odds on the stagflation scenario and leading the gold price to rise further and hit off above $3,050 per ounce.

Market Reaction (pending)
Gold prices and the S&P 500 all moved upward sharply after the announcement was made while leaving the dollar and yields adjusted as traders repriced rates cut expectations.
