Kevin Warsh waited almost a decade before finally clinching U.S. President Donald Trump’s nomination to be chair of the Federal Reserve. He won’t need to wait as long before his first big test in the job. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/31/kevin-warsh-fed-reality-check/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #us #donaldtrump #federalreserve #jeromepowell #kevinwarsh

The gulf between the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve over where interest rates should be hides the fact the two have begun to share a consensus about the near-term economic outlook. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/30/economy/federal-reserve-trump-share-economic-outlook/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #donaldtrump #federalreserve #jeromepowell #banks #us

U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has generally avoided escalation in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump’s relentless criticism — until recent months. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/13/world/politics/jerome-powell-profile-fed-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #federalreserve #jeromepowell #donaldtrump

Trump is now waging war against his own national bank, The Federal Reserve.

The Chair of The Federal Reserve explains that Trump is now suing him in an attempt to force him to set the US interest rates based on Trump’s feelings rather than economic responsibility.

I really hope this man can hold the fort until The Midterms because if not, the US economy has a really dark outlook.

Revealing what has happened is quite a clever move by #jeromepowell . He is giving notice to the financial markets so that lenders can if they wish reduce their exposure to #us bonds . And arguably markets tend to work better when all participants are well informed!

The office of the #USattorney in #DC [ #JeaninePirro] has unironically opened a #criminal “investigation” into #JeromePowell, the #FederalReserve chair, over the central bank’s renovation of its Washington HQ & whether Powell lied to Congress about the scope of the project….

#DOJ Prosecutors Are Said to Have Opened “Inquiry” Into #Fed Chair #JeromePowell

The “investigation”, which centers on renovations of the Federal Reserve’s headquarters in Washington, signals a new fabricated case in the long-running attempt by Trump to demonize the Fed chair.
