#The Fed watches Trump's policies#

Federal Reserve officials are currently taking a “neutral” stance on policy, believing the economy is performing strongly and waiting for more clarity on President Trump’s policies. This “neutral” stance means the Fed will not take any aggressive monetary policy measures for now, but will instead watch the direction of the Trump administration’s policies. As Trump’s policy stance is not yet fully clear, Fed officials need more information to judge its impact on the economy and develop corresponding monetary policy responses. Therefore, Fed officials are inclined to maintain a wait-and-see attitude to avoid making wrong decisions in the face of unclear policy direction.
