Fed Chair Powell ka Inflation Warning
Aajkal, market mein dher saare changes ho rahe hain. Trump ji ke trade policies se kaafi kuch badal raha hai. Iske beech, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell ne inflation ke bare mein badi baat kahi hai. Unhone kaha ki agar prices badhte rahe toh Fed ko action lena padega.
Kya bole Powell?
Powell ji ne Chicago mein Economic Club ko address karte hue kaha, “Humara kaam hai ki long-term inflation expectations stable rahen. Humein yeh ensure karna hai ki price level mein ek baar ki increase se inflation problem na bane.” Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki Fed maximum employment aur stable prices, dono ko maintain karne ki koshish karega.
Trade War ka Dar
Trump ji ke trade policies, especially tariffs, ki wajah se market thoda unstable hai. Powell ji aur Fed officials chahte hain ki jab tak situation clear na ho, tab tak interest rates mein koi change na kiya jaaye. Powell ji ne kaha, “Abhi hum wait kar sakte hain aur situation samajh sakte hain, uske baad hi policy mein koi change karenge.”
Inflation vs. Economy
Powell ji ne maana ki agar economy slow hoti hai aur inflation badhta hai, toh Fed ke liye mushkil ho sakti hai. Unhone kaha, “Agar aisa hota hai, toh hum dekhेंगे ki economy apne goals se kitni dur hai aur kitne time mein wapas aa sakti hai.”
Trump ke Tariff Plans
Trump ji ke tariffs ke plans se market mein thodi instability hai. Unhone pehle reciprocal tariffs announce kiye, phir wapas le liye. Fir global tariffs aur China pe duties lagaye. Ab unhone auto, steel, aur aluminum pe bhi tariffs laga diye hain. Aage pharmaceuticals aur semiconductors pe bhi tariffs lag sakte hain.
Inflation ka Asar
Experts ka kehna hai ki tariffs se inflation badega aur economic growth slow hogi. Powell ji bhi is baat se agree karte hain. February tak inflation 2.5% thi, jo ki Fed ke 2% target se zyada hai. Powell ji ne kaha ki March mein yeh 2.3% rah sakti hai.
Kya hoga aage?
Powell ji ne kaha ki tariffs se inflation mein temporary increase ho sakta hai, lekin yeh increase permanent bhi ho sakta hai. Unhone kaha ki long-term inflation expectations ko control mein rakhna zaroori hai. 2024 ke end mein Fed ne interest rates kam kiye the, lekin 2025 mein unhone kaha ki woh abhi rates mein change nahi karenge. Job market abhi bhi strong hai, March mein unemployment rate 4.2% thi aur 228,000 naye jobs create hue the.
