A growing body of research shows how comments from Federal Reserve members move financial markets. Longterm transparency efforts from the Fed have resulted in more communication with the public today than ever before. But some argue that the Fed’s communication and forecasting framework may be contributing to undue market volatility. When it comes to “Fed speak,” how much is too much?

Fedspeak: Does The Federal Reserve Talk Too Much?
source
The Fed reserve is the world's largest ponzi scheme. They have such control because it's the perfect way to guarantee that certain people & companies always make money. The market is more about WHO you know & not what you know.
Must be nice working for the fed. Buy your stocks, make some promising comments, sell your stock. Make some discouraging comments, buy some stock. 😂
Time for me to make some new friends 😂
I think the stock market will do well in 2024, so I'm thinking of putting $220,000 into stocks for my retirement. Any advice on doing this safely? Also, any important tips for the current financial situation?
Uh, it’s called “traveling” in the NBA stupid.
Yup they are like a soap opera lol…even Congress …all they do is talk and get nothing done..next episode….things get worse…
Yes but that gives buying opportunities.
Non farm report 😞😞 was Very BAD. report SHOW THAT USA ECONOMY IS GOING TO HELL TO HARD RECESSION LANDING. ON MONDAY WE WILL SEE A BIG DROPPING IN S P. 2d cutting WILL BE MAYBE AFTER 2D QUARTER OF ….2025!! 😢😢😢 PREPARE FOR MARKET CORRECTION ON MONDAY. forget about rally BE FRIENDS WITH ELEMENTARY LOGIC
The recent stock market rally has left investors questioning whether it's the end of the bear market or a sign of volatility to come, especially with traditional indicators like the inverted yield curve signaling caution. In such a climate, pivoting to the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies could be a wise move. Despite a potentially bearish stock market, the crypto market remains a hub of innovation and opportunity. Amidst this the insights of a knowledgeable guide like Whitney Eston can be crucial. Her expertise in navigating the nuances of cryptocurrency investments could be the key to understanding and making the most of these emerging financial trends.
Look…it is the t r u m p

Smh.
The worst part is not only the American Economics that rattles when the federal bank says something but also the central banks of other nations who anticipate their every move to protect their respective economies. So much power has been given to the US Federal Reserve but I can't blame them, they need to be frugal about making statements.
Interesting how over 2% inflation has been a concern when central banks and the Fed begin to hike interest rates. I consider the rising interest rate to be a very serious issue since it will undoubtedly cause more investors to withdraw their money from the stock market. But then I'm still aware of certain investors that continue to earn over $365,000. Wish I could accomplish that.
The ETF and stock markets are still quite volatile, just like the property market. My $670K portfolio is down by 15% even as the stock market is on the rise lately. what’s the best way to correct my portfolio?
This seems like the worst period.
Even the market are now very unpredictable. Started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high,today I am more than 60% down!..
what can I do? I am 65 years old at the verge of retirement. My portfoliio of $450k is down to $192k, How can I profit from the present market.
Fed speak is like music to the ear. It can be cheerful or melancholy, but always moving.
The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that
That is the point. If the market rallies… if the market corrects… this is by choice.
What more can the Fed do with keeping inflation under control?…Dealing with high inflation is hurting the future of Americans and their families.
Talk too much and destroy their own credibility. When in panic it's always blah blah blah.
Basically Powell is terrible & needs to be removed
Years ago a reaches the conclusion that was an strategy to not openly disclose market moves!
Uncertainty has been the WORD out of the Jerome Power mouth! I’m surprised that CNBC is speaking out about this, probably is also part of the strategy!
This guy knows what he's doing,look at every major city in America he doing a great job 😎,if i owned a car wash he wouldn't work for me, undercover communist
The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the US dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.
Transparency in government is good
too much yapping can hurt the market
Fed talks way too much. He loves the attention, it's terrible for the markets.
Lol.. cnbc is TRASH 🗑️🗑️. They just manipulate retail traders. I remember the crash of housing market, cnbc contribute it to "fat finger" of citibank. years later, fed blame on some mom and pop kid in England.
Leave Powell
A fake USA economy based on fiat US dollar currency that gets printed without any support of new asset or true wealth. An economic system focused on continuous dilution of currency which is aimed to make EVERYONE INSOLVENT .
“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!”
-The Wizard of Oz
25 bps interest reduction will be absorbed by growing US economy. But either hiking or keeping high will harm middleclass. They pay everywhere more but no opportunity to make small money in ewuity too!
FED IS NOT CLEAR WHAT IS WRONG & WHAT IS THE SOLUTION……….THEY MUST BE REPLACED ASAP…….INTEREST RATE ONLY IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE INFLATION ISSUE UNLESS RETAIL PRICES ARE CEASED….NO JACK UPS .
and you said my comments were bad
JEUS TELL YOUR OLD MAN I DONT TAKE KINDY TO THREATS ANYMORE TELL HIM TO WATCH OUT I MEAN BUSSINESS IAM GETTING TIRED YOU PEOPLE THINK YOU CAN DO WHATER YOU WANT WELL SO CAN I
What stops the FED from speculating the market to benefit the US Dollar?
I think the real issue is we think the market is the only thing to measure our country by. The old fashioned prudent ways of running a business long term are all gone and only care about the stock price. If we focused on how to run our businesses we wouldn’t are so much about the fed.
