🧠 Sentiment & Macro Factors
President Trump's comments regarding the Fed and new tariff policies have triggered uncertainty in monetary policy. At the July Fed meeting, interest rates were maintained at 4.25–4.50%.
The rise in core inflation (PCE 2.6%, CPI 2.7%) weakens the expectations of interest rate cuts until the end of the year.
