In Other News: The Fed holds rates steady amid a cloudy outlook

The Fed held rates steady at 4.25–4.50%, signaling uncertainty ahead. Chair Powell admits: tariffs are fueling both inflation and job risks. It’s a balancing act in a fog of mixed signals.

April's strong jobs report shows resilience, but GDP dipped as businesses scrambled before tariffs hit. Markets now expect a rate cut by July, maybe three by year-end.

For investors, this is a moment to stay sharp, not shaken. In turbulence, those who stay focused on the long game—like Buffett did—will find opportunity where others see chaos.
