Trump says he 'would not' have picked Kevin Warsh to lead the Fed if he wanted to raise interest rates The president told NBC News in an exclusive interview that there’s little doubt in his mind his choice to succeed Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell supports cutting interest rates.

WARSH in 2010:

β€œIf the Federal Reserve lost its independence, its hard-earned credibility would quickly dissipate. The costs to the economy would be incalculable: Higher inflation, lower standards of living .. a currency that risks losing its reserve status.”

We kept our key interest rates at their current levels.

We did this because we see inflation stabilising where we want it to be: 2%.

How much mortgage re-fixing relief is still to come?

Mortgage rates are rising, but re-fixing is still delivering relief. We estimate how much support is left and what it means for borrowers and the recovery.

Why Kevin Warsh Won’t Revolutionize the Federal Reserve | Council on Foreign Relations Warsh has aligned himself more closely with Trump’s agenda recently, but the president is mistaken to think a dramatic transformation at the Fed will lead to sudden rate cuts.

"If [President Trump] expects a dramatic transformation at the Fed that will lead to significant interest rate cuts, he is likely to be disappointed. Financial markets and economic realities will impose strict limits on the next chair," writes expert Roger W. Ferguson Jr.
