The President of the United States does not possess the authority to direct an independent central bank, yet Donald Trump defies norms. As this article is being prepared, markets anticipate five interest rate cuts this year, prompting Trump to publicly urge Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair. Simultaneously, cryptocurrencies are experiencing a surge.
Will the Fed Lower Interest Rates?
Market sentiment leans toward an expectation of over 100 basis points in rate reductions this year. In a recent announcement, Trump seemingly commanded Powell to act on this expectation. Powell is scheduled to address the public shortly, and updates will be shared in real-time through COINTURK. Meanwhile, Bitcoin

“This is the PERFECT time for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates. He is always ‘behind the curve,’ but now he can change his reputation quickly. Energy prices have dropped, interest rates have fallen, inflation is down, even egg prices have decreased by 69%, and employment has increased — all in just two months, a MAJOR WIN for America. CUT INTEREST RATES JEROME AND STOP POLITICKING!”
JPMorgan anticipates that the Fed will implement an additional rate cut in April, contrasting with the European Central Bank’s predictions for reductions in June and September.
