最新报道:Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell dismissed former President Donald Trump's recent claims that Powell plans to cut interest rates to aid Democrats in the 2024 election, calling the accusation "nonsense" and "completely wrong." During a Fed listening tour in Pennsylvania, Powell emphasized the central bank's nonpartisan stance, stating decisions are based solely on economic data. Trump had alleged Powell would lower rates to boost President Biden's reelection chances, but Powell reiterated the Fed remains focused on achieving maximum employment and stable prices. The Fed has kept rates at a 23-year high since July 2023 amid persistent inflation concerns.
