According to a report by Jinshi Data on September 21, economist Bill Conerly highlighted that growing concerns about U.S. inflation are primarily driven by the rising federal deficit. He emphasized that regardless of the outcome of the upcoming presidential election, deficit spending is likely to increase further.While economists continue to debate the exact impact of deficits on inflation, Conerly noted that even a small effect would require the Federal Reserve to maintain restrictive interest rates for an extended period. He also pointed out that the employment aspect of the Fedβs dual mandate has softened, with higher unemployment rates, fewer voluntary quits, and a decline in job openings.Despite the economic strength, Conerly believes the Fed is likely to continue cutting interest rates through the end of 2025, though the long-term outlook remains uncertain. #Economy #Inflation #FederalDeficit #InterestRates #Employment #BillConerly #FederalReserve #EconomicOutlook #PresidentialElection

#Musk #FederalDeficit #DeficitReduction #EconomicGrowth #Inflation
According to Odaily, Elon Musk recently stated on the X platform that to reduce the federal deficit for the 2026 fiscal year from $2 trillion to $1 trillion, it is necessary to cut the projected 2026 expenditures by approximately $4 billion daily from now until September 30. Although this would still result in a deficit of about $1 trillion, Musk believes that economic growth should be able to match this figure, suggesting that there will be no inflation in 2026.#Musk #FederalDeficit #DeficitReduction #EconomicGrowth #Inflation
π Powell Reiterates Concerns Over U.S. Fiscal Path Amid Debt Challenges

According to BlockBeats, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has consistently highlighted the unsustainable nature of the United States' fiscal trajectory over the past seven years. Despite the Federal Reserve's lack of authority in setting fiscal policy, Powell has repeatedly addressed the federal deficit issue, emphasizing its long-term economic impact.
In a 2018 press conference, shortly after assuming his role, Powell stated, "We are on an unsustainable fiscal path, and this reality must be confronted sooner rather than later." His stance remains unchanged, as evidenced by his recent warnings on April 16 about maintaining significant deficits during full employment, urging for solutions.
On May 7, Powell reiterated that the national debt is on an unsustainable path, urging Congress to take corrective measures, while clarifying that it is not the Federal Reserve's place to offer specific recommendations.
The urgency of the fiscal crisis intensified after Moody's downgraded the U.S. AAA rating last Friday. The agency warned that extending the 2017 tax cuts, as favored by Republicans, could increase the deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade.
Powell and U.S. President Donald Trump have also differed on interest rate policies. Trump has recently pushed for rate cuts, while the Federal Reserve has maintained the benchmark rate at 4.25%-4.5% this month. The market anticipates two rate cuts later this year, starting in September.
Powell's term as chairman is set to conclude in May next year, although his position as a board member will continue until January 2028.#JeromePowell #FederalReserve #USFiscalPolicy #NationalDebt #FederalDeficit #EconomicImpact #Moody'sDowngrade #InterestRates #FiscalCrisis #Congress
π U.S. Budget Plan Faces Criticism Over Economic Impact
#USBudget #FiscalPolicy #EconomicImpact #FederalDeficit #PublicDebt #TaxCuts #MacroeconomicStability #GovernmentSpending #HealthcareCuts #FoodAssistance
According to Odaily, despite the U.S. government's description of its fiscal plan as a 'grand and beautiful bill,' Lombard Odier remains skeptical about its potential benefits. The institution argues that the budget proposal offers little macroeconomic stimulus and may worsen the fiscal outlook. Strategic analyst Filippo Pallotti highlights that the plan is expected to increase the federal deficit by approximately $4 trillion over the next decade. If tax cuts are made permanent, the deficit could grow even larger.
While tariff revenues might alleviate some fiscal pressure, public debt as a percentage of GDP is projected to rise to 119% by around 2034. Most tax cuts are unlikely to significantly boost consumption, and the largest spending reductions are expected in Medicare and food assistance programs. The budget's implications raise concerns about the long-term economic stability of the United States.#USBudget #FiscalPolicy #EconomicImpact #FederalDeficit #PublicDebt #TaxCuts #MacroeconomicStability #GovernmentSpending #HealthcareCuts #FoodAssistance
π Lombard Odier: "Big and Beautiful" U.S. Fiscal Bill Offers Limited Economic Boost, Worsens Deficit Outlook

According to a recent analysis by Lombard Odier, the so-called βBig and Beautifulβ U.S. fiscal bill may do little to support macroeconomic growth, while significantly deteriorating the country's fiscal position.Key Points:$4 Trillion Deficit Expansion Expected: Strategic analyst Filippo Pallotti warns the bill could increase the U.S. federal deficit by approximately $4 trillion over the next decade. If tax cuts included in the bill are made permanent, the fiscal shortfall could grow even larger.Limited Stimulus Impact: The agency finds little reason for optimism, stating that most of the tax cuts are unlikely to meaningfully boost consumer spending or drive economic growth.Debt-to-GDP Rising: Despite projected increases in tariff revenues, the U.S. public debt-to-GDP ratio is still expected to reach around 119% by 2034.Cuts to Safety Nets: The most significant spending reductions are set to affect Medicare and food assistance programs, potentially increasing pressure on low-income households.Lombard Odier concludes that while the bill is branded as a bold fiscal move, it poses substantial long-term risks to U.S. fiscal stability with limited short-term macroeconomic benefits. #LombardOdier #USFiscalBill #EconomicGrowth #FederalDeficit #TaxCuts #DebtToGDP #SafetyNets #Medicare #FoodAssistance #FiscalStability
