Your guide to what Trump’s second term means for Washington, business, and the world

Last week was a challenging time for Jay Powell as President Donald Trump resumed his criticism of the US Federal Reserve chair for not cutting interest rates faster, calling him a “stupid person.” Reports surfaced that the president might nominate a new chair well before Powell’s term expires in May 2026, causing uncertainty in the markets. The White House later clarified that no announcements were imminent, which helped stabilize the dollar. This news came amidst other members of the Fed’s rate-setting committee advocating for rate cuts as well.

President Trump’s push for rate cuts, coupled with his unpredictable policy agenda, is creating further complexities. The possibility of announcing Powell’s successor before his term ends could lead to a “shadow Fed chair” influencing monetary policy from the sidelines, causing confusion and market distortions. This speculation is already impacting market movements, weakening the dollar and potentially influencing future rate decisions.

In addition to the uncertainty surrounding Powell’s position, the president’s tariff policies are also contributing to the Fed’s dilemma. While the Fed maintained interest rates at 4.25 to 4.5 per cent in mid-June, there is a divide among policymakers on the next steps. Some members are advocating for rate cuts in response to the minimal impact of Trump’s tariff announcements on inflation so far. However, Powell’s cautious approach is warranted, considering the lag in tariff effects on inflation and the potential for further price pressures from upcoming tariffs and geopolitical tensions.

The Fed’s decision to hold rates steady reflects the current economic uncertainties. If tariffs and other price shocks escalate, there is a risk of sustained inflationary pressure. On the other hand, delayed tariff implementations could result in decreased demand, warranting rate cuts. The central bank’s cautious stance underscores the need for clarity on tariff implications and the president’s policy direction to make informed rate decisions.

Ultimately, the Fed’s predicament is a result of the president’s policies and actions. Greater transparency and clarity on tariffs and economic policies would enable the central bank to navigate the challenges more effectively. President Trump must recognize the impact of his decisions on the Fed’s decision-making process and strive for more stable and predictable economic policies to support sustainable growth.

Understanding the implications of Trump’s second term on Washington, business, and the global economy is essential for making informed decisions in an ever-changing economic landscape.
