The Federal Reserve is expected to pause rate cuts as its policymakers begin discussing the potential impacts of President Trump’s policies on trade, immigration, and spending. This week’s meeting is marked by an overshadowing focus on Trump’s return to the White House and its economic implications.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The focus on Trump’s policies, especially concerning trade and immigration, introduces significant uncertainty about economic stability. From a technological perspective, such uncertainties could dampen investment and slow down tech innovation and adoption. Consistent and predictable monetary policies are crucial for the tech industry, which thrives on forward planning and steady growth.
