President Trump will not get what he wants from Kevin Warsh, a source tells us, as inflation will force the Fed upwards
Read Original Source
For Esther George, the former Kansas City Fed president and one of the most reliably hawkish voices to ever sit on the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee, Americans making long-horizon financial decisions should stop expecting relief from borrowing costs, and instead, start preparing for them to rise. “If I were someone planning with that kind of horizon, I’d plan for higher rates coming ahead,” George told Fortune’s Catherina Gioino.
AI Summary
Main Idea: A former Federal Reserve leader says inflation is still too high, so Chair Kevin Warsh may have to keep rates steady or even raise them instead of cutting them as President Donald Trump wants.
Key Points:
- Esther George said people making long-term financial plans should expect borrowing costs to rise, not fall.
- She said she would not cut rates and thinks the Fed may need to seriously consider raising them.
- The article says Trump has pushed for rate cuts, so any Fed hike would likely anger him.
- Markets also reacted to growing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, while traders watched for upcoming Fed remarks and U.S. jobs data.
