As the end of July approaches, anticipation grows over the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting. Expectations lean towards maintaining current interest rates, yet Donald Trump argues that the delay in rate cuts since his election victory has been excessive. Recently, he emphasized this by urging action through his social media platform.
The Call for Fed Rate Cuts
For the past month, Trump has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with Powell, the Fed Chairman. He insists on reducing interest rates and frequently mentions this sentiment several times a week. In his latest statement, Trump criticized the Federal Reserve Board, asserting that the U.S. economy is bearing the burden due to delayed rate cuts. Amid persistent inflation, fears linger about the potential for no rate cut even in September if tariff rates are not reduced.
Trump made a candid statement regarding the situation:
“The housing sector in our country lags because of Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell’s refusal to lower interest rates. Families suffer due to high rates, and ‘Too Late’ is causing our nation to pay more than necessary. Our rates need to be three points lower, saving us a trillion dollars annually. This stubborn man at the Fed fails to understand—he never has, and never will. The Board must act, but they lack the courage!”
The BTC price has dropped to $117,860, raising concerns over the Fed’s independence as it appears under pressure, unsettling global markets.
In a related development, Trump made comments about a newly announced deal with Japan.
“Remember, for the first time, Japan is OPENING UP its MARKET to the U.S., including cars, SUVs, trucks, and more. An open market in Japan can be as profitable as tariffs, thanks to tariff power. They also agreed to buy billions in military and other equipment and give us 90% of $550 billion—and more! MAGA!!!”
