Apple is doing "subtraction": it will not build cars, and it will not build microLED watch displays!

According to people familiar with the matter, Apple will cut dozens of display engineer positions in the United States and Asia. The reason for the termination of the project was that the cost and complexity were too large to achieve mass production scale. This decision was basically made at the same time as Apple’s previous decision to cancel the development of electric vehicles.

The Federal Reserve continues to remain on hold as scheduled, maintaining its expectations for three interest rate cuts this year and warning that interest rates will be higher than expected in the future.

The Federal Reserve held interest rates for five consecutive meetings, reiterating that it was more confident about inflation before cutting interest rates. The dot plot shows that the number of Fed officials expected to cut interest rates three times this year increased from three to nine, and the number of Fed officials expected to cut interest rates four times fell by three to only one. Federal Reserve officials' median interest rate expectations for this year remained unchanged from last time, with interest rates still expected to be cut by 75 basis points this year, and interest rate expectations for next year and longer term to be raised by 30 basis points, 20 basis points and 10 basis points respectively. The Fed significantly raised its GDP growth forecast for this year from 1.4% to 2.1%, slightly lowered its unemployment rate forecast to 4.0%, and raised its core PCE inflation forecast from 2.4% to 2.6%.
