On May 6, Jin10 reported that Citigroup CEO Fraser stated that conflicting economic signals, including strong wages and weak consumer sentiment, are making the work of the Federal Reserve particularly challenging. Fraser said, "The disconnect between hard data and soft data makes the Fed's job very difficult right now." She added that the ultimate direction of the Trump administration's tariff policy will be key in determining the extent of the impact, "If it's a 10% tariff, it's relatively easy to absorb. If it's 25% or higher, it will have more substantial effects." She also mentioned that despite the conflicting economic signals, she still sees consumer spending maintaining its rise. Once there is more certainty, clients will be ready to execute on a growing reserve of trading opportunities.
