ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data reports, Citic Securities research report states, "In June 2025, the number of new non-farm jobs in the U.S. exceeded expectations, and the unemployment rate was lower than expected. However, this non-farm report actually shows that the U.S. job market continues to weaken. We still believe that the 'buffer' in the U.S. job market is limited, and the continued weakening of the job market may accelerate the rise in the unemployment rate.However, the 4.1% unemployment rate in June gives Powell more 'reasons' to observe the impact of summer tariffs on inflation. We maintain our previous view that the Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates again at the September meeting."

ChainCatcher news, market analyst Jordi Visser stated on the Anthony Pompliano podcast that the younger generation aged 25 and under is increasingly disillusioned with the capitalist system. Influenced by the impact of AI and economic uncertainty, the call for establishing a welfare system through public spending is growing louder.He pointed out that the government will be forced to continue printing money to alleviate social pressures, which will further drive the long-term value of Bitcoin as an anti-inflation asset. "The greater the anger, the more money is printed, and the harder it becomes to suppress the price of Bitcoin."Visser believes that in the next five years, AI and robotics will change the labor structure and accelerate the restructuring of the financial system.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, U.S. consumer spending unexpectedly fell in May as the boost from pre-tariff purchases weakened, and inflation remained moderate. Data released on Friday showed that consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of economic activity, declined by 0.1% last month, while the market had expected a growth of 0.1%. After the surge in pre-shopping faded, consumer spending nearly stagnated last quarter. Service spending also decreased, leading to a quarterly increase in consumer spending of only 0.5%, the lowest since the second quarter of 2020.This data indicates a weak consumption growth path for the second quarter. The combination of weak consumption and moderate inflation is still insufficient to prompt the Federal Reserve to restart interest rate cuts in July. Economists point out that the current moderate inflation is due to companies still selling off inventories accumulated before the tariffs took effect, and inflation is expected to rise starting from the June CPI data.

ChainCatcher news, Slow Mist founder Yu Xian stated that the attacker of the decentralized stablecoin protocol Resupply exploited an interest rate inflation vulnerability to steal assets. The attacker triggered price inflation by donating to the Controller contract of the new treasury, causing the exchangeRate to drop to 0, thereby bypassing collateral verification. Ultimately, the attacker was able to borrow a large amount of reUSD using only 1 wei of collateral. The hacker's funds have currently been converted to ETH, worth approximately over 9.5 million USD, and the hacker's Gas came from Tornado Cash.

ChainCatcher news, Nick Timiraos, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal known as the "Fed Whisperer," stated that according to economists mapping CPI and PPI to PCE, the core inflation rate in May is expected to remain low for the third consecutive month.Core PCE estimate: +0.15% (even lower in May 2024, thus the year-on-year growth rate will rise to 2.6%);Overall Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE): +0.12% (affected by base effects, year-on-year increase to 2.3%).The U.S. May core PCE price index year-on-year will be announced tonight at 20:30, with many institutions generally expecting a value of +2.6%.

According to ChainCatcher news, the NEAR Protocol officials stated that the community has initiated a proposal vote to reduce the fixed annual inflation rate of NEAR tokens from 5% to 2.5%, with plans for flexible adjustments in the future.The voting will end upon the occurrence of one of the following two conditions:More than 2/3 of the staked shares cast "in favor" votes;Reaching the deadline (August 1, 2025, 8:00 AM, UTC+8).

ChainCatcher News, Naoki Tamura, a member of the Bank of Japan's Policy Board, stated during a speech to business leaders in Fukushima Prefecture on Wednesday that the Bank of Japan should consider further interest rate hikes as soon as possible, as inflation may reach the target earlier than expected.He said, "My basic idea is that the central bank will not bring any preconceived analytical data and various information, but will timely and appropriately raise the policy interest rate and adjust the degree of monetary easing based on the improvement of economic activity and prices, without rushing or delaying." He believes that the pace of inflation may exceed the Bank of Japan's expectations, forcing the central bank to take decisive action amid global uncertainties.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that inflation may not be as strong as expected. If this is the case, it could mean an earlier rate cut.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve Governor Bowman stated: "If inflationary pressures are controlled, I will support lowering the policy interest rate as soon as possible at the next meeting to bring it closer to a neutral level and maintain a healthy labor market.""Bowman has been very focused on inflation risks since last year. She mentioned that due to the expectation of more idle capacity in the economy this year, she believes that the price increases caused by tariffs will be 'modest and one-time.' She described the labor market as solid and expected it to be close to full employment levels.However, she also cited evidence of vulnerabilities, including weakened labor market vitality, slowing economic growth, and a narrow concentration of job growth, and therefore believes that the Federal Reserve should 'pay more attention to the downside risks facing the employment goal' in future decisions. This is the first substantive comment on the economic outlook from Bowman since she was nominated by Trump and confirmed by the Senate as the Vice Chair for Supervision of the Federal Reserve this spring.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data, U.S. President Trump posted on social media: "Mr. Powell complains about cost issues, which are largely caused by Biden's false 'government.' But he could have done the greatest and most outstanding work for our country by helping to lower interest rates—if he could bring interest rates down to a reasonable level of 1% to 2%, then this 'fool' could save the United States up to $1 trillion a year.I fully understand that my strong criticism makes it harder for him to do what he should do (i.e., lower interest rates), but I have tried all different ways. I have been friendly, I have remained neutral, and I have been sharp-tongued—but friendliness and neutrality don't work! He is a stupid guy and clearly my opponent; he shouldn't be in that position at all. I listened to the wrong people back then, and Biden shouldn't have reappointed him. We currently have almost no inflation, our economy is performing very well, and with the influx of huge tariff revenues and factories being built across the country, the economy will soon be more prosperous than ever.If he really cares about inflation or any other issues, he just needs to lower interest rates so we can benefit from the interest costs; if those 'other factors' really appear in the future (I doubt it!), then he can raise rates. But don't say you think inflation will appear at some point in the future because it isn't here now—but if it does appear, then raise rates! I don't understand why the committee doesn't overturn this complete fool! Maybe, just maybe, I need to change my mind about firing him? But anyway, his term is about to end soon!"

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy report states that inflation is "slightly high" and the labor market is in "good condition." The value of the US dollar in foreign exchange has generally declined.At the beginning of April, the government bond market continued to operate in an orderly manner, but liquidity has decreased to levels not seen since early 2023. The slow start in 2025 is related to tariff adjustments. Tariffs have impacted the confidence of households and businesses, and the effects of tariffs have not yet been reflected in official data, making it too early to assess their impact on the economy. Some early signs indicate that tariffs have driven inflation up.Financial stability is "resilient" amid increasing uncertainty.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jin10, David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, said that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates unchanged by the end of this year. He pointed out that if inflation is expected to rise due to tariffs, it may not subside until 2026."By the end of next year, the economy should cool down. Inflation should cool down, and maybe they will give us some lower interest rates." "Right now, don't hold your breath waiting for the Fed's low rates, as they seem to have no intention of providing low rates."

ChainCatcher news, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that although the Fed "can see that the labor market may be slowly and steadily cooling," this cooling is not a cause for concern given the currently strong labor force participation rate and good wage growth.He said, "Although the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook has decreased, it remains at a high level." As long as the current labor market conditions persist, along with reasonable economic growth and gradually declining inflation, Powell said he is willing to wait for more information before deciding on the next steps.

ChainCatcher news, referred to as the Federal Reserve's mouthpiece, Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos stated, "Currently, the Federal Reserve's goal in setting interest rates is not to help manage federal borrowing expenditures, but to maintain low and stable inflation in a strong labor market. The Federal Reserve is holding steady because it sees risks no matter what actions it takes. After four consecutive years of inflation above the target level, the inflation rate is close to the Federal Reserve's 2% target but has not fully reached it.If the Federal Reserve lowers rates too early, it may trigger inflation again. Many economists expect that due to rising import costs, businesses will raise prices, and lowering rates could stimulate more economic activity at the wrong time. The Federal Reserve does not want a situation where, a year later, the inflation rate jumps back above 3% and stays at that level.If the wait is too long, economic uncertainty combined with rising costs from tariffs could squeeze corporate profits, leading to layoffs and economic recession. The real estate market has recently slowed down, indicating that rising borrowing costs remain a significant obstacle in interest rate-sensitive sectors of the economy.The Federal Reserve has even more reasons to keep interest rates unchanged, as conflicts in the Middle East could reverse the recent decline in energy prices. This uncertainty alone strengthens the case for caution, as it adds one supply shock on top of another driven by tariffs."

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data, the Federal Reserve's FOMC statement did not mention the risks of rising unemployment and inflation this time.
