US Federal Reserve maintains benchmark interest rate in face of external pressure from Trump administration
ai generated text
The United States Federal Reserve has left its key lending rate unchanged at a range of 4.25% to 4.50% following a unanimous decision by policymakers on January 29. This marks the end of a downward cycle of rate reductions that began in September 2024, and a pause in the trend of decreasing interest rates. Consumer price inflation in the US has fallen from a peak of nearly 10% in 2022 to just above the Fed's 2% target, which may have contributed to the decision to maintain the current interest rates.
Economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace. The unemployment rate has stabilized at a low level in recent months, and labor market conditions remain solid.
We don't need to be in a hurry to adjust our policy stance.
If the Fed had spent less time on DEI, gender ideology, 'green' energy, and fake climate change, Inflation would never have been a problem. Instead, we suffered from the worst Inflation in the History of our Country!
Because Jay Powell and the Fed failed to stop the problem they created with Inflation, I will do it by unleashing American Energy production, slashing Regulation, rebalancing International Trade, and reigniting American Manufacturing.
