From January 27 to 28, Eastern Time, the Federal Reserve will hold its first interest rate meeting of 2026, with the results announced at 3 AM Beijing time on the 29th. Rate cuts? Almost hopeless. The market bets only 5%, and the focus is no longer on interest rates, but on Powell's 'curtain call'.
With his departure approaching in May, he is facing a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice, and the president continues to apply pressure, nominally for building renovations, but actually targeting interest rate decisions. Is this a 'battle for dignity', or political hunting? The independence of the Federal Reserve is facing unprecedented challenges.
Officials are consistent: no interest rate cuts for now, the economy is resilient, and inflation remains high. In January, they stayed put, and March may be the last chance, but 58% of economists predict that interest rates will remain unchanged in the first quarter. The April meeting? Just a formality. Powell's 'interest rate cut cycle' may have quietly come to an end.
The new chairman candidate has not been determined, but the nomination power is in the hands of the president. Investigations hang like a sword, aimed at intimidating and selecting a 'compliant' successor. Although the Federal Reserve internally supports independence, cracks in trust have already appeared. The world is watching closely: this meeting is not only a policy choice but also the eve of the survival of the system. The suspense has just begun. $MANTA $ZEN $ETH
