This comes after other data showed that progress against inflation has not only stalled but even reversed. At the same time, consumer spending has declined. Federal Reserve officials stated that they need to see a significant slowdown in inflation before they will consider lowering interest rates again, especially given the uncertainty regarding how President Trump's policies will affect prices. Meanwhile, the significant decline in spending data may raise market concerns about the resilience of the U.S. economy ## Related News & Research - [Here's How Much $100 Invested In abrdn Physical Silver Shares ETF 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281394387.md) - [Destiny Tech100 Stock Rises After SpaceX IPO Rumors](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281415250.md) - [BREAKINGVIEWS-SpaceX IPO will gauge market moxie more than depth](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281406751.md) - [Palantir vs. Oracle: 1 AI Stock Looks Cheap](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281400403.md) - [BUZZ-Rosenblatt says finding partner for Snap's smart glasses unit tough](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281357569.md)
