Most Federal Reserve officials expect additional interest rate cuts as long as inflation declines over time, though they remain divided over when and how far to cut, minutes of this month’s meeting show. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/31/economy/fed-minutes-rate-cuts-inflation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #us #federalreserve #interestrates #inflation #globaleconomy
U.S. President Donald Trump muses that he still might fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, teasing that he has a preferred candidate to replace him but is in no hurry to make an announcement. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/30/markets/trump-fed-chair-pick/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #us #donaldtrump #jeromepowell #federalreserve

As candidates vie to become chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, it's unclear whether the central bank will maintain enough autonomy and credibility to manage the economy under pressure from politics and the market. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/23/world/fed-autonomy-credibility/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #us #federalreserve #supremecourt #donaldtrump #dollar #currencies #globaleconomy #debt #ai
The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates on Wednesday, but signaled it will likely pause further reductions in borrowing costs as it looks for clearer signals about the direction of the job market and inflation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/11/economy/federal-reserve-board-interest-rate-cut/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #federalreserve #interestrates #globaleconomy #donaldtrump #us #jeromepowell
The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to deliver a further interest rate cut despite divisions among its ranks, with chief Jerome Powell's ability to secure support from fellow policymakers being put to the test. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/10/economy/fed-rate-cut-likely/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #us #federalreserve #jeromepowell #donaldtrump #economicindicators
U.S. President Donald Trump said he has decided on his pick for the next Federal Reserve chair, without naming his choice, after making clear he expects his nominee to deliver interest-rate cuts. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/01/markets/trump-choice-federal-reserve/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #us #donaldtrump #federalreserve #jeromepowell
The annual rate of #inflation was 3% in Sept—almost exactly the same as it was on Inauguration Day.
Trump’s failure was predictable. #Prices almost never fall across the entire #economy. When they do, it tends to be because of a crisis, such as the #GreatDepression. Trump is responsible for misleading people. But he has not merely failed to keep an impossible promise. Trump has pursued policies, starting with #tariffs, that are making the problem worse by making life in the #US less #affordable.
One way to see the impact is to track #inflation over the past year. As the effects of the pandemic have worn off, the pace of price increases declined from an annual rate of 3% in January to 2.3% in April. Then, as #Trump’s policies started to take effect, inflation rebounded to 3%. “In some ways, this administration could have come in & done nothing & made progress on inflation,” said Claudia Sahm, a longtime #FederalReserve economist who now works at New Century Advisors, an investment firm.
"In this video, The Intellectualist examines whether #economicinequality in the #US today is worse than pre-revolutionary #France. Using #FederalReserve, #CBO data, & #economic #history, we reveal a shocking answer: the #wealth gap in America is worse."
