FED CHAIR JEROME POWELL IS IN HUGE TROUBLE 🚨
He's TRAPPED, here's why.
Just now, US CPI came in line with expectations at 2.7%, while Core CPI came in lower than expected at 2.6%.
This is the exact number that came during the last CPI print, which means CPI is not running hot.
And this could be a problem for Powell.
Powell has been holding rates because the Fed thinks inflation will go up.
But instead of that, CPI and Core CPI are moving towards the Fed's target.
Also, Truflation, which calculates CPI in real time, is showing that US inflation is now below 1.8%
This means the Fed is late in cutting rates, and this is a bad thing.
The economy is already in distress due to high rates, and the Fed is still pausing rate cuts despite low CPI print.
As we all know, the Fed did a 50BPS rate cut right before the 2024 election, even though the markets were expecting 25BPS.
Back then, Core CPI was at 3.3%, while the unemployment rate was at 4.1%.
Today, Core CPI is at 2.6%, and the unemployment rate has surged to 4.4%, but still the Fed is being hawkish.
And I think Trump administration knew about this CPI data and that's why they are going after Powell.
Powell can say anything he wants, but the reality is that the Fed is way behind its curve.
The market needs more rate cuts, and the Fed will have to deliver it in 2026.
