🔻 White House Showdown: Trump Demands Rate Cuts

In a high-stakes meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump confronted Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for the first time since reclaiming office. With inflation cooling to 2.2%, Trump pressed for aggressive interest rate cuts, warning that the U.S. risks falling behind China if the Fed maintains its cautious approach.

> Trump’s Statement: “We’re at a disadvantage if we don’t act.”

💸 Tariffs: The Hidden Inflation Engine

Trump’s new tariffs (10%–60%) are already being felt by American households. A Yale study estimates they could cost the average family $4,900 per year. Economists warn that inflation could spike again in late 2025 as these tariffs ripple through supply chains.

📉 Market Reaction: Jitters & Recovery

Wall Street initially dipped on fears of political interference in the Fed. However, optimism about cooling inflation helped stocks recover. Still, uncertainty around rate policy and central bank independence remains a major risk

> Taihe Institute: “Undermining Fed independence could crack the dollar’s foundation.”

🔮 What’s Next? June Fed Meeting

The next FOMC meeting in June will be pivotal. Most analysts expect the Fed to hold rates steady, but Powell’s tone and the Fed’s dot plot will be closely watched for signs of future cuts.

🧠 Bottom Line

Trump wants fast growth and cheaper borrowing. Powell insists on data-driven, independent decision-making. Their showdown could define not just the trajectory of the U.S. economy, but also the global status of the U.S. dollar — and even impact crypto markets like $BTC as investors hedge against fiat volatility.
