President Donald Trump has looked to the marble finishes and hefty price tag of the Federal Reserve headquarters to claim grounds to fire Chair Jerome Powell, with whom he has tussled for years over interest rates.

Federal Reserve Governor Chris Waller, an advocate for an immediate interest rate cut, said on Friday he would accept the job as head of the U.S. central bank if asked by President Donald Trump, but so far Trump has not contacted him about it.

Becoming a federal prosecutor was a longtime professional dream for Erika Evans, one she achieved nearly four years ago.

The president insists the Fed’s interest rate is costing the nation hundreds of billions. The math doesn’t work, Allan Sloan writes.

J.P. Morgan warned in a note that Trump's pressure on the Federal Reserve and threats to fire Chair Powell could undercut central bank independence and increase inflation risks.

The case for a U.S. interest rate cut remains unresolved as Federal Reserve officials head into their policy meeting later this month, with data showing fresh signs of higher inflation and President Donald Trump intensifying his demands for lower borrowing costs.

Warren added the next Fed chair will face a tough task proving they’re committed to central bank autonomy, as concerns grow that Trump may nominate someone more loyal to him than to economic principles.
