The Federal Reserve's recent minutes revealed that staff members have revised their economic outlook for 2025, projecting higher real GDP growth and lower inflation than previously forecasted. This more optimistic economic forecast aligns with statements from the Trump administration, which has highlighted the strong economic performance during the first six months of 2025. President Donald Trump claimed that this period marked the greatest six months of any presidency in U.S. history, emphasizing economic gains despite ongoing media focus on unrelated controversies. The administration also described the U.S. as the 'hottest country in the world' economically. Market data since January 2025 supports this view, with stock prices rising and inflation declining, contradicting earlier economic predictions.
