🚨 Fed vs. Trump: The Inflation Showdown 🚨
Dallas Fed’s Lorie Logan isn’t backing down.
📌 “Rates stay high — inflation’s not beat.”
Even with cooling CPI, she’s not convinced.
💬 “False hope has burned us before.”
But pressure is building fast…
🇺🇸 Trump’s back, and he wants cuts — now.
His tariff talk has economists nervous.
🔥 Higher costs? Higher prices? Inflation déjà vu?
Meanwhile:
🧮 Fed split wide open.
→ 19 see 2 cuts this year
→ 9 say 1 or none
Nobody’s sure.
Markets? Confused.
Logan? Laser-focused.
📉 CPI cooled for the 5th month.
🎯 But she’s clear: “We need proof — not just hope.”
And the biggest risk?
⚖️ Fed independence.
Trump’s public pressure is loud — and dangerous.
---
🎯 Summary in 5 bullets: • Logan: Rates stay high till inflation really breaks
• July CPI cools — but don’t get comfy
• Trump’s tariffs could reignite price hikes
• Fed is split, market is tense
• Central bank under fire politically
🧠 Stay sharp. Politics and policy are clashing — again.
