US President Donald Trump’s global trade war has made a mess for the Federal Reserve. Despite an encouraging US consumer price index report this week, there are major concerns about the inflationary nature of Trump’s tariffs. Meanwhile, the Fed has cut growth forecasts. And if all that wasn’t enough, Trump is breathing down chair Jay Powell’s neck to cut interest rates. The FT’s US economics editor Claire Jones and economics commentator Chris Giles explain why the central bank is caught in a difficult position.


Mentioned in this podcast:

Jay Powell’s tariff dilemma: defend the economy or contain inflation

Alphaville: An emergency rate cut from the Fed?

US inflation falls more than expected to 2.4% in March

Federal Reserve ‘absolutely’ ready to help stabilise market if needed, top official says
