Fed's Warsh Holds Firm on 2% Inflation Target Despite Trump's Rate-Cut Push
Yahoo! Finance·Thursday, 2 July 2026
Speaking at a European Central Bank panel in Portugal, US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh said he will stick firmly to the central bank's 2% inflation target and will 'disappoint' anyone expecting loose monetary policy. This comes despite President Trump's public calls for interest rate cuts. US stocks finished lower on the day, with the Nasdaq sliding two-thirds of a percent.
