Trump praises Warsh as “fantastic,” urges lower U.S. rates ahead of FOMC decision
AI Market Summary
Trump's pre-FOMC push for lower rates and endorsement of Kevin Warsh introduces political noise around Fed independence just as officials flag sticky inflation and markets still price a meaningful hike probability. Near-term, this can raise rate-volatility and repricing risk across front-end yields, supporting USD sensitivity to incoming policy signals rather than a clear directional shift.

President Donald Trump publicly backed former Fed governor Kevin Warsh two days before the Federal Reserve’s FOMC rate decision, arguing the U.S. should have the lowest interest rates in the world and questioning other officials’ motives. The federal funds rate is currently targeted in a 3.5%-3.75% range. Markets largely expect policymakers to hold rates steady at this meeting, though they are assigning about a 1-in-3 chance of a 25-basis-point hike, according to CME Group’s FedWatch tool. Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan and other officials have recently called for further tightening amid concerns about persistently high inflation.
