The recent turmoil in the US financial circle has been making headlines. Treasury Secretary Yellen publicly pressured the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates quickly, and this move is somewhat aggressive—the underlying message being: stop dragging your feet and align with economic policies.



Speaking of which, there's a lot behind Yellen's recent actions. From tax cuts, trade negotiations, to easing regulations, all the groundwork has been laid. Now, all that's missing is a rate cut to ignite the economy. The goal is clear: to achieve impressive economic data before 2026 and to bolster existing policies.

What's more concerning is that Yellen isn't just using words; she's also starting to influence the Fed chair appointment. It's important to note that the Federal Reserve has always prided itself on independence. Being publicly pressured like this pushes it to the forefront of political struggles. Now, the Fed sits atop a volcano: compromise and cut rates, risking a resurgence of inflation; stand firm against the White House, and policy coordination could fall apart.

The problem is, short-term stimulus often comes with long-term costs. The US debt has already ballooned to unimaginable levels. Cutting rates will only lower borrowing costs, encouraging more debt accumulation—the debt snowball will grow larger and larger. The bubbles in the stock and real estate markets will continue to inflate, and ultimately, ordinary people will be the ones to pay the price.

Is this really creating conditions for economic growth, or is it a naked political show? Is interest rate cutting a cure or a poison? Industry experts have differing opinions—what's your take?

It's all political games. Even the Federal Reserve's independence will eventually have to compromise—it's only a matter of time.

Another political game, the Federal Reserve is being roasted over the fire... The debt bubble will burst sooner or later, and this time it really can't hold up.

It's the same old trick again, politicians blaming the central bank... The Federal Reserve is already struggling enough, and now they have to be political scapegoats. This is truly outrageous.

It's the same old trick again, political interference with the central bank. The Federal Reserve should have held its ground long ago; cutting interest rates will only inflate an even bigger bubble. When it crashes, no one will be able to escape.

It's the same old trick again—interest rate cuts under political pressure, and in the end, it's still us retail investors getting cut.
