Tariffs: The New Mudhorn?

Alright found this datapad talking about the Federal Reserve – sounds like another bunch of bureaucrats in fancy robes. Seems like they're sweating over these things called 'tariffs.' Apparently they could make prices go up which these officials don't like. Makes you wonder are these tariffs like a Mudhorn... a real pain that makes everything harder and more expensive? This is not the way.

The Rate Debate: Steady as a Beskar Helmet

So these Fed folks had a big pow wow (a Mandalorian one would involve more explosions I reckon). They decided to keep interest rates where they are. They're saying things are too up in the air to mess with them. 'Uncertainty,' they call it. Reminds me of flying through hyperspace without a nav computer. Risky. Best to keep the Razor Crest steady for now.

Growth: Solid as Mandalorian Iron (Allegedly)

Apparently they think the economy is doing 'solid.' Like Mandalorian iron they say. Well I've seen flimsier stuff called 'solid.' They also seem pretty happy about the job market but they also said 'Risks are growing that it could weaken'. Sounds like they're speaking with a forked tongue. I'm keeping my credits close.

Wait and See: The New Mandalorian Motto?

These officials are doing what Mandos usually avoid: waiting. They're gonna sit tight until they figure out what's going on with prices and trade. Reminds me of waiting for a bounty to show up – could be a long wait but you gotta be patient. 'The Committee was well positioned to wait for more clarity,' one of them said. Sounds like 'This is the way' to indecision.

Trump vs. The Fed: A New Kind of Duel

Seems like some dude named Trump is trying to get them to lower rates. Like trying to haggle with a Jawa – good luck with that. But the head honcho this Powell guy says they won't be pushed around. Maybe there is honor left in this galaxy after all.

Inflation Target: Unchanged (For Now)

So they're sticking to their '2% inflation target.' Sounds like a made up number but what do I know? They're also talking about how they used to let inflation go a little wild to help the job market but now they're not so sure about that. Sounds like they're changing the code on their helmet or something. Things change I guess but one thing is sure: This is the way (until it isn't).
