Federal Reserve officials maintained their outlook for three interest-rate cuts this year and moved toward slowing the pace of reducing their bond holdings, suggesting they aren’t alarmed by a recent uptick in inflation.

Officials decided unanimously to leave the benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, the highest since 2001, for a fifth straight meeting. Policymakers signaled they remain on track to cut rates this year for the first time since March 2020, but they now see just three reductions in 2025, down from four forecast in December, based on the median projection.

Gold price surging higher in thin trade​

Gold was a beneficiary of the FOMC and Powell today, adding to its recent gains.

And those have extended.

This is a very thin liquidity time of day for pretty much everything, gold included. Which doesn't take away from this surge, not at all. The metal is benefitting from the prospect of lower rates ahead, as one key input to its price.

Weak Hands all shaken out liao
It is a Game for God Level Players

I don't understand, after more than 100 years of economic development...why are such senseless ideology of the reserve bank n interest rates still being used to control inflation? Inflation is caused by demand vs supply....so instead of killing demand, ppl still need to eat etc, why don't increase supply? Bring down the cost of fuel, get more goods, why keep hammering the working class to cut demand?

Inflation is closely related to regulating consumption of Good / Sevice related to demand. But the demand can be higher inflated due to many modern financial vehicles and financial alchemy.

If not careful regulated, it can result in the WW1 and WW2 like scenario. Modern Tech advances eg supercomputers, Ai and global networks centers, has allow human to really understand the real global economic state at almost real time.

If we chase the supply of goods for purpose of satisfied demand...we must understand our world resources esp energy are finite, yet human greeds is infinite. We may end up we up ourselves onto big lorry eg Easter Island Scenario

Because working class is most easily control and regulated as they are made up 70%-85% population, yet they only have 20% of global wealth.

Yet, the key part that is seldom or not mentioned is, the 20% elites like Boss John , who control 80% of global wealth...these elites classes are jin savvy and have resources and capital to spin their wealth growth at God speed. But realistically, world resources eg Saudi Oil will not grow more, when global wealth Increases.


Wealth is machiam like Credit Card Points, think world resources like a finite amount of gift vouchers that u can exchange for. Central bankers will be like Credit Card Bank, they will adjust credit points requirement to ensure their finite gift cards are sufficient to satisfy "Most" customer requirements with few pulleys eg Inflation and Rate

SINGAPORE - In the past, a luxury penthouse for sale in Singapore would be one of the hottest properties in town. Not anymore, after a condominium with an asking price of $15.5 million failed to attract any bidders this week.

The five-bedroom suite at the St Regis Residences, with a private pool and a 180-degree panoramic view, received no offers during its third auction by realtor Knight Frank on March 21. That’s even after the price was lowered by 14 per cent from earlier in 2024, to $15.5 million.

The property, owned by the son of Indonesian billionaire Tahir – who goes by one name – is one of many luxury homes struggling to sell in a Singapore market hit by a 60 per cent stamp duty on foreign buyers, along with a crackdown on money laundering. The moves have slowed purchases by the super rich to a trickle.

Why Singapore leads in regional business stability​

FM Global attributed the high rank to its commitment to infrastructure development and resilience-building measures.

Singapore maintains its position among the world's most resilient business environments, placing 3rd globally. Singapore's leadership in business resilience also extends regionally, serving as a model for investment and development in neighbouring economies, according to commercial property insurer FM Global.

As regional economies expand, multi-market businesses play a crucial role in bridging the resilience gap between countries, safeguarding against supply chain disruptions and property losses.

The 2024 FM Global Resilience Index attributed to its high GDP per capita (3rd globally), political stability (1st globally), low corruption (4th globally), and other factors such as urbanisation rate (1st globally), logistics (1st globally), and cyber risk (7th globally).
