Trump says he ‘100% respects’ Kevin Warsh’s Fed independence as rate decision nears | Stock Market News
The White House now says President Trump fully respects Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's independence and will support whatever the central bank decides. That matters because the Fed may raise interest rates soon, even though Trump prefers lower rates. A hike would mean tighter monetary policy in the world's largest economy. So watch the Fed's decision closely and keep your plans flexible.
