#美联储恢复降息节奏 I just saw a video and I'm a bit confused.
A former U.S. president said on stage: "Want to sit in that position? First, make a statement, can this thing about lowering interest rates be done?"😅
Wait a minute - when did the central bank's decision-making power become like this?
After going through the information, I found something even more outrageous:
During his four-year term, the Federal Reserve Chairman changed more frequently than one changes a phone.
Every personnel adjustment always coincides with the turning point of interest rates.
· Now more direct - openly sending signals: next time in power, need to find a "highly cooperative" candidate.
No wonder Federal Reserve officials have been speaking cautiously lately, every word seems like walking on a tightrope. They fear being labeled if they say something too strong, and if they say something too mild, they can't meet market expectations.
Friends who do quantitative trading complain: "We now have to add a variable to our model - the Political Sentiment Index. Otherwise, it's impossible to predict interest rate trends."
What kind of independence of monetary policy is this? This has turned the central bank's decision-making into a reality show script, one that spoils the ending in advance.
Honestly—
If the logic of global asset pricing is no longer dominated by economic data, but instead depends on a person's statement, then should the judgment basis of everyone in the crypto market, stock market, bond market... all be rebuilt from scratch?
What do you think? Does central bank independence still exist in certain systems?
