Judge in Fed rate meeting access case asks if lawsuit is publicity stunt for fund
-
最新报道：The Federal Reserve faces a lawsuit from Azoria Capital Fund alleging Chair Jerome Powell made misleading statements about interest rate policies during a June congressional hearing. Court filings show the $2.3 billion hedge fund claims Powell's testimony about "data-dependent" rate decisions contradicted private Fed discussions showing predetermined hikes, causing Azoria to lose $180 million on wrong-way bond bets. The unusual case tests whether central bank officials can be held liable for public remarks, with legal experts divided on its merits. Powell declined comment through a Fed spokesperson, while Azoria's attorneys argue the statements constituted "intentional market manipulation." The case comes as the Fed prepares for its September policy meeting amid ongoing inflation concerns.
