Key takeaways from the Fed’s decision to hold interest rates steady amid Trump’s tariff chaos

CNN  

Washington CNN — The Federal Reserve on Wednesday kept interest rates unchanged as central bank officials weigh the impact of President Donald Trump’s aggressive economic agenda. Fed Chair Jerome Powell in his post-meeting news conference acknowledged the high level of uncertainty among American consumers and businesses — a lot of it stemming from the Trump administration’s “turmoil,” he said. Powell said that “it remains seen how these developments affect future spending and investment.” The Fed’s key borrowing rate remains in the 4.25% to 4.5% range. “The Fed would be MUCH better off CUTTING RATES as U.S.Tariffs start to transition their way into the economy,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, calling April 2, when reciprocal tariffs are expected to go into effect, “Liberation Day in America.” Earlier this month, Powell said officials will be guided by what economic statistics ultimately show, not what forecasts predict. In 2018 during Trump’s first trade war, rising inflation expectations was a key factor that Fed officials pointed to that would force them consider hiking interest rates, according to a declassified document detailing policy alternatives, known as the “teal book.” Powell said that he still believes that long-term inflation expectations “are mostly well-anchored,” pointing to survey data from the New York Fed.
