Fed's mouthpiece: Market focus shifts to whether the Fed will cut interest rates twice this year, with excessive inflation preventing aggressive easing.

Nick Timiraos, a renowned Wall Street Journal reporter and known as the "Fed's mouthpiece," published a new article titled "Powell's Rate Cut Signals a Delicate Economic Predicament." He argues that Fed Chairman Powell is cautiously paving the way for a rate cut next month, but is sending a subtle message to those hoping for aggressive easing: don't expect drastic action.
