Powell Suggests Rate Cuts Are Coming — But Not Because Trump Demanded Them
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has hinted that the U.S. central bank could soon begin cutting interest rates, but he made it clear that the decision has nothing to do with political pressure from former President Donald Trump.
•Economic Data, Not Politics, Driving the Fed:
Powell stressed that the Fed’s decisions are based on economic conditions—particularly inflation trends, employment data, and financial stability—not political demands. Recent reports suggest inflation has cooled closer to the Fed’s 2% target, giving policymakers more flexibility to ease rates after an extended period of tightening.
> “We don’t take requests from political figures,” Powell said. “Our job is to make decisions that serve the American economy and its people.”
•Trump’s Pressure on the Fed:
Trump, who has been vocal about the Fed in both his presidency and his current campaign trail, has repeatedly called for lower interest rates, arguing that high borrowing costs are hurting growth. But Powell has reiterated that the central bank will not be influenced by campaign rhetoric.
Market Reaction
Markets welcomed Powell’s remarks, with equities rallying and Treasury yields dipping as investors grew more confident about a potential September rate cut. Analysts suggest that if inflation continues to moderate, the Fed may move cautiously to avoid stalling economic growth while ensuring price stability.
What It Means Going Forward
•For borrowers: Lower rates could mean relief on mortgages, credit cards, and loans.
•For businesses: Cheaper credit may encourage investment and expansion.
•For politics: Trump may claim victory if cuts happen, but Powell is making sure the public knows the decision is data-driven, not politically motivated.
The months ahead will be crucial. If inflation remains under control, Powell and the Fed may finally pivot toward rate cuts—on their own terms, not because of Trump’s demands.
