00:04The Federal Reserve announced its latest interest rate decision.
00:06The Federal Reserve unanimously approved a 25 basis point rate hike by a vote of 12-0.
00:12point
00:12Interest rates were raised to 3.75% to 4%.
00:15This is the first interest rate hike in more than three years.
00:18What's even more intriguing is...
00:20The decision was made by Kevin, the new chairman personally selected by Trump.
00:24Mosh
00:25His first interest rate meeting after taking office
00:27This runs counter to Trump's repeated demands for interest rate cuts.
00:31When Powell was chairman, he refused to lower interest rates.
00:34Trump has almost never stopped attacking him for not understanding economics.
00:37botched the US economy
00:38Does the fact that the list of "Wo Shi" represents a betrayal of Trump?
00:41It was after he took the position of Chairman of the Federal Reserve
00:44He then discovered that the economic data simply did not allow him to follow Trump's lead.
00:48The script is going...
00:50That problem might not be so simple.
00:51The US economy is now facing a situation that is no longer simply a matter of high or low interest rates.
00:55Instead, the oil price war and tariffs together unleashed the beast of inflation.
01:00Middle East conflicts drive up energy prices
01:03Brent crude oil once surged to over $109.
01:06Although it subsequently fell back
01:08However, the war in Iran continues.
01:09Energy pressures will remain.
01:11This put the Federal Reserve in a very difficult situation.
01:15Inflation could continue to burn if interest rates are not raised.
01:18Raising interest rates could suppress economic growth.
01:20Prices continue to rise
01:22High interest rates could slow down the economy.
01:24Then the US economy is gradually approaching the precipice of intellectual disability.
01:29Therefore, Woshi chose to raise interest rates this time.
01:31It's not necessarily about turning against Trump.
01:33It's more like telling the White House
01:35Interest rates are not a political button that the president can lower at will.
01:39Trump wants lower interest rates to reduce financing costs.
01:42Supporting economic activities
01:43However, the Federal Reserve is facing persistently high inflation.
01:49Character
01:49Ultimately, raising interest rates is about preventing the economy from spiraling out of control.
01:53First, step on the brake.
01:55Therefore, the question may no longer be indicative.
01:58Did Woshi betray Trump?
02:00But when the White House still wanted to step on the gas...
02:02When the Federal Reserve has to apply the brakes
02:04How fast can this engine of the American economy really go?
02:10Federal Reserve Chairman Steve Jobs' first interest rate decision since taking office
02:14The answer is out.
02:15Not an interest rate cut
02:16It's an interest rate hike.
02:17The Federal Reserve unanimously approved a 25 basis point interest rate hike.
02:20Raise the federal funds rate to 3.75% to 4%.
02:25This is the first interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve since 2023.
02:28Moreover, this interest rate hike does not appear to be a one-off action.
02:33Latest forecasts show
02:34Further interest rate hikes may be needed before the end of this year.
02:48Why the sudden shift to interest rate hikes?
02:50Wo Shi's answer at the press conference was very direct.
02:53Inflation is too high
02:55And it has been going on for far too long.
02:57In his opinion
02:58The most important thing right now is to bring inflation back down to the Fed's 2% target.
03:03Woshi even put it more bluntly.
03:06The independence of the Federal Reserve
03:07It means adhering to one's own responsibilities.
03:36Former US President Trump
03:38He has repeatedly criticized former Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
03:42He was unhappy that he refused to lower interest rates.
03:43Now that Powell is gone...
03:44Trump's handpicked "Walker" has taken office.
03:48However, the script did not go as Trump had planned.
03:51In response to this interest rate hike
03:53Trump directly called out
03:54US interest rates should be lowered to 1% or even lower.
03:58He even criticized the politicization of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
04:01Made the wrong decision
04:18From Powell to Woshi
04:20Trump replaced a disobedient Federal Reserve chairman.
04:24So why hasn't this resulted in an interest rate cut?
04:27The economist's explanation is
04:29Wo Shi is not facing Trump.
04:31The question of how much interest rates are expected to drop.
04:33Rather, it's the current economic data.
04:35Should interest rate cuts be allowed or not?
05:01therefore
05:02This interest rate hike is seen by outsiders
05:04It's more than just a monetary policy adjustment.
05:07It also became a Federal Reserve
05:08Can independent testing be maintained?
05:11US media even directly described this interest rate hike as...
05:14One indication that the Federal Reserve is acting independently
05:17Reassuring signal
05:19Some scholars believe
05:20What the central bank really needs to protect
05:22Not just today's interest rates
05:24More importantly, it reflects market confidence in its ability to control inflation.
05:51Trump changed chairmen
05:53But this did not result in an interest rate cut.
05:55This time, Woshi used 25 base points.
05:58The answer given is very clear.
05:59The chairman can be changed.
06:00Interest rates can be adjusted
06:02But the Fed's judgment
06:03We can't just follow the White House.
06:05What we really need to hold onto
06:07Perhaps it's never just about interest rates.
06:09Rather, it's the market's confidence in the Federal Reserve.
06:15So what Trump ultimately wants is...
06:16The trade barriers are very high.
06:19Tariffs are something to think about.
06:20But on the other hand, there's a desire for interest rates to keep falling.
06:23Monetary policy remains loose
06:24Both tariff protection
06:26Another currency frenzy is about to begin.
06:27Where in the world can you find such a cheap lunch?
06:29This time, the vote for a 12-0 interest rate hike was...
06:32It was a sudden, sharp step taken by the Federal Reserve.
06:34Of course, the car can continue to drive fast.
06:36But when oil prices surge
06:38Inflationary pressures are rising.
06:40When the economy is under downward pressure again
06:42If you brake too late
06:44The price paid
06:45It might not just be a slowdown.
06:47Instead, the car crashed and people died.
