On March 19, just one day after resigning, former U.S. Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent stated in an interview that there is no intelligence indicating that Iran will launch a large-scale surprise attack similar to the "9/11" or Pearl Harbor incidents. Kent said, "Going back to our understanding of Iran—they have always been very, very cautious when escalating confrontations." He also mentioned that he believes Israel feels emboldened to take military action, confident that the U.S. will have to respond. "Israel believes that no matter what actions they take or what situations they face, they can push forward with this action, and we can only respond. This reflects the relationship between the two sides and shows the lobbying forces pushing us toward war." Kent announced on Tuesday that he had submitted his resignation due to differences with the government regarding the issue of war with Iran. The White House has previously cited Iran's "imminent nuclear threat" as a justification for potential strikes against the country.

On March 19, according to AXIOS, Elon Musk is in settlement negotiations with the SEC regarding his failure to disclose his purchase of Twitter stock before making a takeover bid in April 2022, as stated in a court filing by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Reports indicate that bankers at SpaceX hope to resolve this matter before potentially launching the largest IPO in history. According to regulations, investors who acquire 5% or more of a publicly traded company’s shares must disclose their ownership within 10 days of the purchase. However, Musk disclosed his holdings 21 days after reaching that threshold. He also submitted a "13G" form applicable to passive investors instead of the "13D" form intended for activist investors, including those planning to make a takeover bid. Musk's lawyers informed the court earlier this month that, at least to some extent, these settlement negotiations were conducted without the involvement of the SEC enforcement attorneys responsible for the case.

On March 19, "Fed Whisperer" Nick Timiraos reported that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated that if his successor is not confirmed before his term ends on May 15, he will continue to serve as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. This is his most direct statement to date regarding the upcoming leadership transition at the Fed. Powell further indicated that he would not leave the Federal Reserve Board as long as the Justice Department's investigation into him remains ongoing. He mentioned that he has not yet decided whether he would continue to serve on the Federal Reserve Board if the investigation concludes and a successor takes over as Chairman. It is confirmed that Powell can remain on the Federal Reserve Board until 2028 after his term as Chairman ends. This decision by Powell has significant implications for Trump's ability to reshape the structure of the Federal Reserve. If Powell stays on the Board, Trump will lose a position that he could have personally appointed someone to. Currently, three of the seven members of the Federal Reserve Board were appointed by Trump.

On March 19th, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran issued an emergency statement in the early morning local time on the 19th, announcing that it had launched a large-scale missile attack on oil and energy facilities related to the United States in the region. This operation is a direct reciprocal retaliation for the attack on Iran's energy infrastructure earlier on the 18th. The statement pointed out that this retaliatory action aims to target energy facilities "related to U.S. interests and holding U.S. shares." The statement emphasized that Iran was originally unwilling to expand the war into the energy sector, nor did it wish to affect the economies of neighboring countries, but the enemy's provocations have led the war into a "new phase." The statement confirmed that the Iranian armed forces have carried out multiple rounds of strikes, ensuring that the losses suffered by the enemy are at the same level as the damage to Iran's infrastructure. The statement also warned that if the attacks continue, Iran will expand the scope of its strikes to all energy infrastructure of U.S. and Israeli allies, until they are "completely destroyed."

March 19th, Federal Reserve FOMC Statement:
1. The Federal Reserve announced it will maintain the target range for the federal funds rate between 3.5% and 3.75%, holding steady for the second consecutive time, in line with broad market expectations.
2. The Federal Reserve passed this interest rate decision with a vote of 11 to 1; Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Millan dissented, advocating for a rate cut.
3. The Federal Reserve maintained its forecast of one rate cut in both 2026 and 2027.
4. The Federal Reserve's dot plot shows median projections for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026, 2027, 2028, and the long-run federal funds rate to be 3.4%, 3.1%, 3.1%, and 3.1% respectively.
5. The Federal Reserve FOMC's economic projections show upward revisions to the median forecasts for US GDP growth and core PCE inflation at the end of 2026, 2027, and 2028.
6. The Federal Reserve FOMC statement indicated that the impact of developments in the Middle East remains unclear.

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's Remarks:
1. The Federal Reserve believes the current policy stance is appropriate; the Federal Reserve is currently in a good position to decide how to adjust interest rates in the future.
2. The US economy is expanding, and inflation remains slightly elevated; short-term inflation expectations have risen in recent weeks; most long-term expectations are consistent with the 2% target.
3. If progress on inflation is not seen, interest rates will not be cut.
4. The possibility of the next move being a rate hike was indeed mentioned; the vast majority do not see a rate hike as the baseline scenario for the next move; unable to provide an answer on the triggers for a rate hike.
5. Some of the oil price shock will be reflected in core inflation; rising energy prices will push up overall inflation; it is still too early to judge the full economic impact of developments in the Middle East.
6. Consumption and employment will continue to face some downward pressure, while inflation faces upward pressure.
7. Data center construction may be pushing up inflation; AI investment may be pushing up the neutral rate in the short term; not yet seeing the impact of AI on productivity.
8. No intention to leave the Federal Reserve before the Department of Justice investigation concludes; will serve as interim chair until a successor is confirmed; has not decided how long to remain at the Federal Reserve.
