Updated: 1h ago- Policy Criticism Intensifies: Trump has reignited his criticism of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, labeling him “Too Late Powell” and demanding immediate interest rate cuts, arguing that the current monetary policy is overly restrictive and unnecessarily pressures the U.S. economy.
- Growth Hindered: Trump contends that while inflation has cooled from its 2022 peak, the Fed's maintenance of high rates is hurting economic growth, consumer spending, and business confidence, asserting that the delay in rate cuts is detrimental to the economy.
- Market Volatility Heightened: Trump's remarks may influence market sentiment, as calls for rate cuts typically stir investor expectations across both traditional and crypto markets, with lower rates likely weakening the dollar and encouraging risk-on investments that benefit stocks and digital assets.
- Significant Political Implications: As the U.S. approaches another election year, Trump's comments not only challenge Fed policy directly but may also aim to sway public opinion, increasing market focus on the Fed's upcoming policy meeting.
