πŸš€ Federal Reserve Officials Maintain Neutral Stance Amid Strong Economic Performance

According to Odaily, Federal Reserve officials are adopting a neutral policy stance, citing strong economic performance while awaiting clearer policies from Donald Trump's administration. On January 9, Federal Reserve Governor Michelle W. Bowman stated in California that she expects the upcoming government's policies and the continuation of inflation pressures in 2024 to become clearer in the coming months. Bowman's remarks, along with those of Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid on the same day, suggest that due to the robust performance of the U.S. economy by the end of 2024 and inflation rates remaining above the 2% target, further interest rate cuts may not be necessary. Schmid expressed confidence that the economy is nearing a point where it neither requires restriction nor support, indicating that policy should be neutral.

πŸš€ Inflation Slowdown Fuels Fed Rate Cut Expectations Amid Mixed Economic Performance

According to BlockBeats, BRN's Chief Research Analyst Valentin Fournier highlighted in a report that despite mixed macroeconomic performance, the slowdown in inflation has reignited market expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. As inflation trends approach the Fed's 2% target, multiple rate cut expectations are strengthening, potentially leading to a new wave of liquidity injection. Alternative risk assets like cryptocurrencies may benefit more compared to stocks, which could be affected by economic slowdown.

Mike Cahill, CEO of Douro Labs, noted that the U.S. employment report, covering non-farm employment, unemployment rate, and wage growth, might indicate the Fed's upcoming rate decisions. Early data this week showed that the private sector added 62,000 jobs in April, lower than March's figures. Cahill stated that if Friday's data remains weak, the strengthening rate cut expectations could lead to another rise in Bitcoin prices. Institutions are closely monitoring these macro signals, as Bitcoin is increasingly seen not just as a risk asset but as a macro tool sensitive to interest rates and global trading, aligning with its original design purpose.

πŸš€ Goldman Sachs Predicts Decline in Short-Term U.S. Treasury Yields Despite Rising Term Premiums

Economists foresee a steeper yield curve but warn that weak rate-cut signals could dampen market optimismAccording to a recent report from Goldman Sachs, short-term U.S. Treasury yields are expected to decline in the coming months, driven by the bank's baseline view of moderate economic performance. However, the steepening of the yield curve may be gradual and conditional on stronger signals from the Federal Reserve.Key Highlights:Short-term Treasury yields forecast to fall amid stabilizing economic dataYield curve steepening expected as term premiums riseRate cut bets fading due to lingering inflation and resilient economic indicatorsGovernment debt accumulation may push long-term yields higherGoldman Sachs: Economy Supports Lower Short-Term YieldsEconomists at Goldman Sachs suggest that the underlying strength of the U.S. economy justifies a near-term decline in short-dated bond yields, with the expectation that the yield curve will steepen over time. However, a lack of concrete economic data to back a Fed rate-cut scenario could cause the market to pull back from dovish pricing.Inflation and Debt Concerns May Limit Fed FlexibilityWhile the Fed has signaled a data-dependent approach to monetary policy, core inflation remains sticky, and recent economic reports have not shown the kind of weakness needed to trigger rate cuts.β€œInflation is still high, and economic data is not bad enough to prompt the Fed to act,” the report noted.Additionally, the growing U.S. government debt burden may lead to higher term premiums, pushing longer-term yields upward and complicating monetary policy responses.Market Outlook: A Balancing Act for Bonds and PolicyInvestors may see relief in the short end of the curve, butLong-term yields could rise, reflecting debt supply risks and higher inflation expectationsThe steepening yield curve may be a signal of economic normalization rather than crisis

πŸš€ U.S. Treasury Secretary Advises Against Removing Federal Reserve Chair Powell

According to BlockBeats, U.S. Treasury Secretary Besent has privately advised U.S. President Donald Trump against attempting to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Besent's reasoning focuses on potential impacts on the economy and markets, the likelihood of interest rate cuts later this year, and possible political and legal challenges.

Besent argues that dismissing Powell is unnecessary due to the strong economic performance, positive market reactions to the President's policies, and signals from Federal Reserve officials indicating possible rate cuts by the end of the year. If Powell were removed before his term ends, he might file a lawsuit, which could extend into next spring when his term concludes. Besent also noted that Governor Kugler's term ends in January next year, and Powell's term ends in May, providing Trump with one or two vacancies to fill early next year.

Besent's cautious approach contrasts with some government officials considering more aggressive strategies. Trump expressed confidence in Besent, describing him as reassuring during a conversation with reporters on Tuesday.
