[Trump Calls for Interest Rates to Drop to 1% Daily, Fed Officials Emphasize Inflation Risks and Support Rate Hikes] Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. President Trump has recently reiterated his stance advocating for U.S. interest rates to be lowered to 1% or even lower, arguing that reduced financing costs could stimulate corporate investment, lower government debt costs, and enhance the competitiveness of the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, on September 16, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate target range by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%, marking the first rate hike since July 2023. Boston Fed President Collins subsequently expressed support for the rate hike, stating that inflation risks remain above the Fed's 2% target and that monetary policy needs to maintain a certain level of restrictiveness to drive inflation down sustainably.
