  • With the White House watching, Fed's Powell to hint yes or no on rate cuts

    From zawya.com

    U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech to the annual Jackson Hole economic conference on Friday comes amid unprecedented pressure on the central bank from President Donald Trump, but mixed economic data may pull Powell toward a middle ground that leaves major questions unresolved. Investors are expecting and Trump is demanding a rate cut when the Fed meets next month, and two Fed governors began pushing for cuts with dissents at the central bank's last policy meeting on concerns the labor market may be weakening faster than headline employment data suggests. But inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target ... (full story)

In my view, Mr. Powell would be a remarkable candidate for the presidency in the future. He possesses the right character, along with the temperament and expertise needed to thrive in this position. Mr. Powell must avoid repeating his earlier mistake regarding 'transitory inflation.' To safeguard his future reputation, he ought to adopt a firm position on inflation at the upcoming September Fed meeting and withstand any pressure from Trump's threats or disparaging remarks. Should Trump choose to act in such an uncivil and unpresidential way, it will only tarnish his own image and highlight the type of person he really is. In contrast, Mr. Powell is a man of integrity, courtesy, and technical expertise (unlike Trump, who lacks an understanding of monetary economics), consistently exhibiting professionalism and ethical conduct. I firmly believe that Mr. Powell would be an exceptional presidential candidate in the years ahead. He embodies the essential qualities and has the temperament and skills necessary to excel in that role.

Copy and paste from when you posted these ridiculously stupid lies before.

Just another bot posting made up nonsense.

Powell is verifiably incompetent and should be in prison for destroying the finances of the US. He’s a democrat operative whose sole purpose is hurting Americans. He literally did every possible thing wrong during and after Covid.

I agree with his qualifications but he's too flipping old. The downfall of the USA is going to be dinosaurs. They need to cap the age of their leaders at 65. The whole world should do the same. If a person wants to run a country in their 70s or 80s its only because 1 they are mentally unstable and need the validation and 2 they didn't learn enough in their lifetime to understand how to relax and enjoy their lives, ergo a failure. They don't let a 20 year old run the world. The window should be between 35 and 65 in my opinion,

Anger much? Powell is a registered republican. It's laughable you consider Powell's actions during Covid incorrect. The Trump administrations pathetic mishandling of Covid is going down in history as the biggest shit show ever. Trump is responsible for the deaths of over a million of your countrymen.

trumpy was the reason for all the financial fallout as well and you're a trumpanzee if you think that just because Powell didn't have a big enough mop to clean up trumps puke you blame him. Its so pathetic how tv personas are idolized in the USA, was the same shit with Reagan and his creation of homelessness through reaganomics.

I notice you share the same demeanor and intelligence as your idol, President Trump. It’s the same repetitive bias.
