Trump vs Powell



Outlook 10/24: Stocks across the globe saw some relief overnight, though equities in the U.S. are still spooked with volatility returning to the market. Wall Street's three major indexes slumped early Tuesday, but ended well off the day’s lows as investors snapped up beaten-down shares late in the session. Futures are now posting declines ahead of the open amid worries over rising rates and tariff impacts on U.S. earnings.

President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, saying the head of the nation’s central bank threatened U.S. economic growth and appeared to enjoy raising interest rates. In an interview Tuesday, Trump acknowledged the independence the Fed has long enjoyed in setting economic policy, while also making clear he was intentionally sending a direct message to Powell that he wanted lower interest rates.
