The Federal Reserve delivered another quarter-point rate cut, but the message from Jerome Powell was clear. The path ahead is uncertain, and the Fed is now split over how to balance rising unemployment risks with inflation that is still above target. Powell said the labor market has weakened more than the official data shows, in part because the government shutdown delayed key reports and distorted others.
At the same time, the Fed announced a major operational shift. It will begin buying $40 billion in Treasury bills in the first month to maintain ample reserves and ease pressure in money markets. Powell stressed this is not QE, but it does expand the balance sheet at a moment when funding strains are emerging.
In this announcement, Powell addresses tariffs pushing goods inflation higher, negative underlying job growth, a divided FOMC, and why the Fed is now “well positioned to wait and see” before considering additional moves.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has resumed large-scale purchases of Treasury bonds, a move that experts believe shows the Fed and the Trump administration are determined not to allow certain financial giants to manipulate the position of the US dollar.
The sound of this guy’s voice makes me want to smash my face into a table
I've never heard a more complex way of saying, "We printing mo' money!"
Replacing "transitory" with "short-lived" is not very clever.
Spending on credit cards is false GDP. Lets inflate more and lose jobs, The Fed!😅
the comments here are so america, that everyone points to the person/entity being the issue and not the system that allows this all to go without public backlash. Y'all are the problem when all y'all is say shit on the net and then walk away thinking some meaningful action was taken.
Someone please take this evil thing out for lunch
Thanks for showing this evil old man
Don't believe a word from the Fed nor from the politicians.
Used to save "in passbook", now we save on blockchain. Same idea – just require it to be reliable. Mevstake takes care of that
Thank you. It's gold's Victory
Everytime powell opens his mouth, satan pops out😂
Utter propaganda for the lemmings
Half a trillion because China not buying our debt? Why not build a stablecoin fed!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He just diluted all of your dollars , again !
Thanks Powel , my stacks appreciate that .
YOU WORK SLAVELANDIA > WE TAX YOUR EARNINGS FOR OUR UNREGULATED SPENDING….. PROTECT THE BANKSTERS
YOU FREAK POMPUS TARGET JOKER~!
More green toilet paper!!!
включайте пожалуйста звуковые дорожки на русском языке , а то через субтитры на русском языке не очень удобно !!!! заранее спасибо
Blah blah blah😵💫
Guys a puppet!
3.5 to 3.75%
I never thought I'd hear a video 100% lies from Kitco 🤪
Am I the only one who thinks the sound Powell’s voice doesn’t match his face? It’s disturbingly off.
Clownshow
There are so many holes in his speech. Listen to how he speaks about the labour market “unemployment is very low”
The truth is many companies cannot float without the fed.
Please keep this going for at least 10-15 more years, so I can capitalize off the USD as long as possible!!!
As Rafi said years ago, the Fed is
becoming the buyer of last resort.
How can you DELIVER 2% inflation?!
Here they go again, manipulate the bond market and not let market demand dictate interest rates. Where can I get my printing press for purchasing T-Bills like the Federal Reserve? This is fundamentally wrong where bond investors who rely on fixed income interest to live on are forced to compete with an entity who has limitless access to money.
Listening to Powell …. total. BS.
The fed exists to inflate , to keep the Ponzi scheme going.
Shadow stats inflation is not as high as actual.
The dollar is at the end of
it's lifecycle.
😂 he can sell snow balls to an Eskimo
The Federal Reserve is the 'Chaos Knob' manipulating the fiat dilution reverse Ponzi Scheme.
