U.S. Economic Growth Expected to Slow Amid New Policies

According to Odaily, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has indicated that after several years of robust growth, the U.S. economy is expected to experience a slowdown this year. Survey respondents have highlighted the impact of new federal government policies, particularly those related to trade. The tension between hard data and soft data is being closely monitored. As these new policies and their potential economic effects become clearer, a better understanding of their impact on the economy and monetary policy will emerge. Tariff levels have exceeded the expectations of nearly all forecasters, but the final outcome remains uncertain. The public anticipates transparency from the Federal Reserve, which is committed to providing it.
