The Federal Reserve just held interest rates steady, but US central bank Chair Jerome Powell removed key language about inflation progress, sending stocks tumbling and Treasury yields surging past 4.5%. With traders now pushing back rate cut expectations to July, is Powell ignoring warning signs of slowing growth? Meanwhile, Trump is turning up the heat, demanding immediate rate cuts and claiming he knows interest rates better than Powell. If the Fed holds firm, could the White House start targeting the central bank?
