Inflation in the U.S. has risen to 2.7%, prompting President Trump to urge the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. He claims that reducing rates could save $1 trillion annually. However, the speed of inflation's rise is concerning, leading to decreased stock investor confidence, as shown by declines in the S&P 500. Initially anticipating a rate cut in September, market probabilities have dropped significantly. Economists note that rising tariffs imposed by Trump are a contributing factor to the inflation, affecting consumer prices visibly in economic data.
Consumer Prices LOW. Bring down the Fed Rate, NOW!!! Fed should cut Rates by 3 Points. Very Low Inflation. One Trillion Dollars a year would be saved!!!
The speed of the rise was "the fastest this century," according to UBS.
The direction of inflation is making a Fed cut less likely, not more. The Fed fights inflation by raising interest rates, which makes money more expensive to borrow.
Tariff costs are strikingly visible in U.S. economic data.
