- Economic adviser claims U.S. inflation is below target, influencing Fed policy.
- Financial markets may react to potential interest rate cuts.
- Crypto market volatility continues without direct inflation impact.
White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett stated on Fox Business that U.S. inflation remains low, supporting President Trump’s comments despite differing public and expert opinions.
Hassett’s analysis suggests current inflation is below the Federal Reserve target, potentially influencing interest rate cuts.
Fed Policy Shift Driven by 1.6% Inflation Rate
Kevin Hassett, White House economic adviser, indicated while President Trump’s outlook on inflation aligns with data showing lower pressure, this contrasts most economists’ viewpoints. President Trump’s claim appears supported by Hassett’s assertion that inflation should be analyzed through three-month moving averages.
The Federal Reserve’s target of 2% has reportedly not been breached based on Hassett’s cited metrics, with an observed rate of 1.6%. Hassett emphasized the sufficient space for cuts, indicating adjustments in the Federal Reserve’s policy could ensue.
