April 5th news, the next meeting of the Federal Reserve will be held on May 6-7. The futures market had raised the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates at that meeting to about 50%, but after Powells speech, the probability fell to about 30%. Market participants hope to see the so-called Fed Put (Fed Put option), that is, the Federal Reserve calms the troubled market by cutting interest rates, but on Friday, their expectations fell through, causing the stock market to fall. "Powells remarks highlight that we are still a long way from the macro environment and market data that may produce a Fed Put," wrote Krishna Guha, chairman of Evercore ISI. "He is seeking to control expectations to reserve room for rate cuts when unemployment rises sharply. Before that, preemptive action is impossible given the scale of the tariff inflation surge." For Powell, there is no rush now. Guha said: "It feels like we dont need to rush, it feels like we still have time."

JPMorgan Chase: Predicts a US economic recession in 2025.

On April 5, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell made it clear that the Fed will not rush to respond to the comprehensive tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, nor will it respond to the financial market turmoil caused by concerns about a global recession. Powell said at a conference in Virginia on Friday that tariffs could have a significant impact on the US economy, including slower growth and higher inflation. But he added that Fed officials will wait until these policies are clearer before cutting interest rates. He also emphasized that with inflation still high, the central bank has an obligation to ensure that the temporary increase in prices caused by tariffs does not turn into a more lasting increase. "The Fed cant insure the economy as it did in the trade war in 2018 and 2019 because inflation is too high and above their target," said Julia Coronado, founder of research firm MacroPolicy Perspectives. She believes there will be a recession in the second half of this year. "Even if they conclude that they need to cut interest rates, they may cut interest rates later and slower because we will be in the inflationary impulse."

Russian drones carried out a "large-scale" attack on Krivoy Rog, Ukraine, following a missile strike, local Ukrainian officials said, starting fires at four locations.

On April 5, JPMorgan analyst David Lebovitz said that the U.S. stock market has hit a low buying range because he believes that the United States will still avoid a tariff-induced recession. Lebovitz has been waiting for the S&P 500 to hit 5,100 points, and the index fell below that level on Friday afternoon. He is far from being "fully betting" on the U.S. stock market and believes that the risk of a U.S. recession is rising. But Lebovitz said he might take advantage of the recent stock market sell-off to increase positions modestly at current trading levels. "The cheaper the stock, the more interested we are," Lebovitz said. "In the long run, underweight stocks in non-recession years tend not to work well from a return perspective."

April 5th, Berkshire Hathaway said on Friday that reports on social media about the companys chairmans alleged remarks were "false." Earlier, US President Trump shared a video on social media suggesting that Warren Buffett supports the US Presidents economic policies. The video was posted by a user named American PapaBear, saying that Trump deliberately "smashed" the market to force the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates while making stocks more affordable for middle-class investors. The video also mentioned that this is why Warren Buffett just said that Trump is taking the best economic initiative he has seen in 50 years. Berkshire said in a statement: "There are currently reports circulating on social media that are alleged to be remarks made by Warren Buffett. All of these reports are false."
