Federal Reserve

At the core of Trump’s dispute with the Fed is the growth potential of the U.S. economy. Trump wants 4%, the Fed wants 1.8%.

The Fed concluded its two-day meeting with tweaks to its statement on policy and the economy while leaving rates unchanged.

Comments from the European Central Bank send the Euro lower and prompt a response from President Trump.

Consumers expect long-term a inflation rate of just 2.2 percent, the lowest rate recorded over the past 40 years.

May industrial output figures from the Fed show the manufacturing sector is holding up better than expected amid trade war with China.

The Fed was wrong to assume moving production out of China necessarily imposes deadweight costs or efficiency losses

“They made a big mistake. They raised interest rates far too fast,” Trump said in a phone interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

It all rests on the false assumption that moving out of China necessarily means moving to a less efficient producer.

A slightly disappointing reading on manufacturing in Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri.

The Fed’s survey of New York manufacturers shows an upswing in conditions and no negative drag from rising tariffs.

Even if businesses somehow passed on all the costs of tariffs on China, there would be no impact on consumers.

On Thursday, Stephen Moore, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the Fed, decided to withdraw his name from consideration for the post. Some of his past satirical articles about women in sports seem to have come into play among some U.S. Senators who said they could not support his nomination.

President Donald Trump said Monday that businessman Herman Cain has withdrawn his name for consideration as a nominee to the Federal Reserve Board.

The picture of the economy painted by the Fed’s Beige book is a little brighter than it was earlier this year.

Cain never stood a chance of getting votes from Democrats. Now that four Republican senators oppose his nomination, he is sunk.

Wall Street does not think Stephen Moore and Herman Cain should be confirmed but expects that they will anyway.

Trump blamed the Fed for the slowdown in the economy in the first three months of 2019 and called for lower rates.

Herman Cain remains President Donald Trump’s pick to fill one of the two vacant seats on the Federal Reserve’s board.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will join Hollywood stars-turned-activist couple John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen at an upcoming retreat for House Democrats.

The Fed says it aims for 2 percent inflation. As this year began, inflation fell further below that target.

The market not only no longer expects a Fed hike this year. It is now pricing in one or two cuts by year’s end.
