He was picked because he promised Trump he wouldn’t raise rates.. what are you confused by? Trump said this on national television multiple times…

The Fed decision makes perfect sense to me. Rate adjustments can take 6+ months to affect the market/economy. The expectation is that the current bump in inflation is transitory due to the war (oil prices) and tariffs…among other factors. So the expectation is that the war will end soon. Additionally, before the war ~500 million barrels of oil was flowing thru the Straight of Hormuz per month. Now it’s ~250 M barrels. That’s about 10% of the world’s oil, but the US increased 3M barrels a day, about 100M barrels per month. And China has reduced its usage of oil. So the net effect of oil disruption is minimal…so the price of oil (and all goods) should be going down; thereby, muting inflation. So a rate hike in the midst of these transitory factors wouldn’t be prudent

Raising rare is not going to help. Inflation now is caused by tariff and oil spike. Both can be undone immediately.

Likely an understanding with someone who hired him to not raise rates before the midterms

Been covering markets a long time. You are spot on. And I think your speculation is right. I think they know something big is coming. My best guess, not that I have a crystal ball, is it will happen in about 6 months.

I agree...but, here is my take...it sounded like an apology for not raising rates because inflation is TEMPORARY...I think he is in trumps pocket...rates will go down before they go up...upside down world

Trump hired him to lower rates. He is being criticized for not doing what Trump wants. So his compromise is to keep rate here rather than what they should
