Zhitong Finance App learned that US President Trump has repeatedly criticized the Federal Reserve for its slow rate cuts, raising concerns about the Fed's independence in the market. If directly challenging the Fed's autonomy, it may raise the risk premium of US government bonds and weaken market confidence in the US dollar. But UBS stated in an article that Trump is unlikely to take this risk. The Fed's policy will still be primarily guided by the labor market and inflation data, and based on this, UBS predicts that by June 2026, the rate cut may reach 100 basis points.
