🚨💥POWELL UNDER FIRE: COOLING INFLATION, CRACKING ECONOMY HAS THE FED MADE A HUGE MISTAKE? 🇺🇸⚡
Big moment for the U.S. economy. The latest inflation data is out — and it’s not what many expected. Headline CPI came in at 2.4% vs 2.5% expected, and Core CPI at 2.5%, matching expectations. That may look small, but here’s the shock: inflation is now at its lowest level since April 2025, just before major tariffs were imposed. Core inflation is at its lowest point in nearly five years, back to levels seen during the lockdown era.
This creates a serious dilemma for Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. For months, the Fed warned inflation could heat up again. But the data shows the opposite — it’s cooling. And while inflation falls, other parts of the economy are starting to crack.
The labor market is softening. Credit card delinquencies are rising as households struggle. Corporate bankruptcies are climbing toward levels last seen during the 2008 financial crisis. That combination — falling inflation and weakening growth — is dangerous.
Critics say the Fed stayed too easy in 2020–2021, which helped fuel the inflation surge. Now, they may have stayed too tight for too long. If rates remain high while inflation keeps dropping, the bigger threat could shift from inflation to deflation — and deflation can freeze spending, slow business activity, and trigger deeper recession risks.
Some even point to President Trump’s past comments calling Powell “too late,” arguing the Fed is always reacting behind the curve.
The big question now: Will the Fed pivot quickly — or wait too long again? Markets are watching every word from Powell, because the next move could define the next phase of the U.S. economy. ⚡📊🔥
