Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the news is the ongoing tension between President Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, particularly regarding interest rate decisions and the Fed's renovation plans [1][4][9] - President Trump criticized Powell for his handling of interest rates, claiming that the Fed's inaction has cost the country trillions of dollars and labeled the renovation project as the "most incompetent and corrupt" in history [1][4] - The Federal Reserve decided to maintain the benchmark interest rate at 4.25%-4.50%, marking the fifth consecutive meeting without a change, and indicated that the possibility of a rate cut in September is now less than 40% [4][9] Group 2 - Recent data showed that the PCE price index rose by 2.6% year-on-year in June, exceeding expectations, while the core PCE index increased by 2.8%, the highest level since February [7][8] - The new personal consumption expenditure data does not alleviate the Fed's concerns about inflation driven by tariffs, suggesting that the likelihood of a rate cut in September is low if inflationary pressures persist [8][9] - Trump's previous comments highlighted a 3% growth rate in the U.S. economy for the second quarter, urging for lower interest rates to avoid inflation and stimulate housing purchases [9]
