The Fed Funds rate is 4.25%–4.5%. Trump said it should be 1.25%–1.5%. Rumors are that Powell may resign by Monday, so his replacement can slash rates to that level. This would put the nail in the dollar's coffin, sending long-term interest rates, consumer prices, & gold soaring.
"Too Late" Jerome Powell, of the Fed, will be in Congress today in order to explain, among other things, why he is refusing to lower the Rate. Europe has had 10 cuts, we have had ZERO. No inflation, great economy - We should be at least two to three points lower. Would save the USA 800 Billion Dollars Per Year, plus. What a difference this would make. If things later change to the negative, increase the Rate. I hope Congress really works this very dumb, hardheaded person, over. We will be paying for his incompetence for many years to come. THE BOARD SHOULD ACTIVATE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
