“The federal reserve meets this week to discuss interest rates after May's high inflation”
figures. President Trump made a clear before nominee and Kevin Worcett. He wants the Fed to cut interest rates. But when policymakers meet Tuesday and Wednesday, they are expected to keep rates steady. May's strong job report, lessen the argument that a cut is needed.
And May's consumer price index puts more pressure on the Fed to raise rates at some point after prices rose 4.2% over the last 12 months.
