30.07.2025Federal Reserve Holds, Tariffs Expand
The day began with residual focus on the Midtown Manhattan shooting and President Trump's comments concerning Jeffrey Epstein, topics carried over from previous days. However, media attention quickly shifted to a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake off Russia's Far East, triggering widespread tsunami warnings across the Pacific, including Hawaii and the US West Coast. As the day progressed, reports confirmed modest tsunami wave impacts with no significant damage, leading to eased advisories. Concurrently, a new dominant narrative emerged: strong US economic growth with unexpectedly high GDP figures. This was quickly followed by President Trump's announcement of new tariffs on India and threats against Brazil, expanding his trade policy agenda. By evening, the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady, defying presidential pressure for cuts, became the primary editorial focus, underscoring central bank independence amidst political demands.
