Fed Chair Kevin Warsh faces a no-win rate decision. Raising rates defies Trump; holding steady risks market credibility.
背景
Kevin Warsh, the new Federal Reserve chairman, gave a hawkish speech at Jackson Hole, emphasizing the 2% inflation target. This has put him in a bind: markets now expect a September rate hike, but President Trump, who appointed him, wants lower rates. The decision is complicated by upcoming midterm elections and recent market reactions to his July meeting.
