According to BlockBeats, on June 17th, the views of former Federal Reserve officials and employees on the US economy and the outlook for the Fed, collected by former Wall Street Journal economic reporter Jon Hilsenrath, showed that former Fed officials and employees expect unemployment and inflation rates to rise in the coming months, which may make the Fed's judgments on interest rate decisions more complex. Respondents stated that they expect the Federal Reserve to maintain its expectation of two 25 basis point rate cuts each within the year, although many former officials believe that only one or even no rate cut may be more appropriate. The release of the results of this survey coincides with the upcoming policy meeting of the Federal Reserve this week, when Fed officials will release economic forecasts. This will be the first time the Fed has released an economic forecast since Trump announced widespread import tariffs. The federal budget bill currently being pushed through Congress may also become one of the important considerations for the Federal Reserve's decision this week.
