Wednesday, 14 August 2024 Annual inflation in the US fell to 2.9% last month, officials have said - heightening expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in September.
President Trump now says he has “no intention” of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, despite calling him a “major loser” just days ago. Trump’s sudden reversal—delivered in the Oval Office—comes after sharp criticism and market turbulence. Wall Street surged on the news, as fears of a central bank shakeup faded. Trump had previously accused Powell of failing to cut interest rates. The about-face follows internal White House talks on removing Powell, who is legally protected until 2026. Critics warned that firing him could destabilize the entire financial system.

Trump has launched a fiery attack on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, calling for his immediate termination after slamming the Fed’s latest economic report as a “complete mess.” Trump accused Powell of being “too late and wrong” on interest rate policy and compared him unfavorably to the European Central Bank, which just issued its seventh rate cut in a year. The outburst follows Powell’s stark warning that Trump’s sweeping tariffs could drive the U.S. into stagflation. With Powell’s term running through 2026 and legal protections in place, Trump’s demand has ignited a constitutional debate over presidential power and the independence of America’s central bank.
