That is why the Fed has been able to reduce its balance sheet by 25% without triggering tighter financial conditions. There is no reason to think that more QT will justify much lower policy rates,” he&nbsp;reportedly said.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Single Rate Cut&nbsp;Not Enough</h2>As per Roubini, recent economic data suggests that the growth&nbsp;in the U.S.&nbsp;remains above potential, and could even accelerate in 2026 after a modest soft patch&nbsp;in the previous year,&nbsp;while inflation remains stubbornly above the Fed’s 2% target.&nbsp;“So, even the single rate cut that the FOMC has penciled in for 2026 may not be justified. With other risks looming – like a protracted war with Iran that sends oil prices higher and puts upward pressure on inflation and inflation expectations – the Fed may well find itself raising rates, rather than cutting them,” he said.&nbsp;Meanwhile, U.S. equities continued their downturn on&nbsp;Friday.

Of these, about 20.1 million entries were unliquidated as of the date mentioned earlier.The customs agency also said that it is currently not equipped to separate IEEPA tariffs from other import duties, and doing so would require manual intervention, which would require about 4.4 million hours. A diversion of staff for this purpose would severely disrupt its other functions, the agency said, keeping it from continuing to “perform its mission, including its revenue protection mandate and its vital national security functions.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Proposed Alternative</h2>The CBP in the filing also said that it is working to create a new automated refund system to “streamline and consolidate refunds and interest payments on an importer basis, rather than issuing 53,173,939 separate entry-specific refunds” that it expects to be ready for use in 45 days.Meanwhile, U.S. equities were trading in red on Friday at the time of writing.
