Economic outlook amid uncertainty about the fallout from trumps trade conflict with china and other nations President Donald Trump has been pushing paul to cut rates and has repeatedly said he has the power to fire the fed chair if he doesnt comply. Our financial correspondent joins us now from new york to tell us and how did pauls comments go down on wall street. New records simple as that for the very 1st time ever the s. And p. 500 crossed the crucial 3000 point mark at least during trading and there was one word that youre stressed again and again and again and that was the word uncertainty uncertainty about trade uncertainty about Global Growth and this is pretty unusual that the fed chair stresses so much external factors that are not actually under the influence of the Federal Reserve or even of the u. S. Administration when it comes to Global Growth growth but there is no 2nd guessing year on wall street that we will see a rate cut by the end of the month even if it might be smaller than some investors on wall street had expected now of course weve been seeing a lot of pressure from the white house on powell and hes been putting up a show of defiance shall we say saying that he cant be made to step down on the other hand it looks like trouble might get what he wants from powell in the form of a rate cut what do you think this means for the feds independence. It is not unprecedented that a president or end up in a stray ssion tries to put some pressure on the Federal Reserve but it is pretty unique how directly and how often and sharp u. S. President tries to put pressure on the Federal Reserve to get impressed by that. Out for debate but we also shouldnt forget the Federal Reserve is not a one man or woman shoulders is a committee that makes the decisions but we also got the fed minutes here on wednesday and they showed that a couple of members already in june were kind of playing around with the idea of cutting rates already in june but its really tough to tell if the fed members get influenced by the u. S. President or not but either way it looks like even as we are right in the middle of the longest economic expansion in the history of the United States we still got it or will probably get this rate cut by the end of the month and as weve seen in the past usually one rate cut doesnt come alone so once the Federal Reserve starts cutting rates there might be more cuts to follow thank you normal for me and quite a there on wall street thank you very much.
