[Trump's Political Pressure Eases, Fed's Future Rate Hike Path May Be Affected] Odaily Planet Daily reports that the strong voter backlash against Trump on Tuesday may ease the political pressure on Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh, allowing him to focus less on political interference and concentrate on controlling inflation. This is the initial assessment of some Fed watchers. They believe that the Republican Party's crushing defeat in the election, and voters' prioritization of the cost of living, has fundamentally altered the political landscape surrounding the Fed. Since Trump's re-election in 2024, he has consistently pressured the Fed and its interest rate decisions, repeatedly demanding rate cuts, supporting an unprecedented criminal investigation into the renovation of Fed office buildings, and attempting to remove a current Fed governor. Against this backdrop, Trump chose Warsh to lead the Fed in May, after Warsh had previously deviated from his usual stance and supported rate cuts. This has raised concerns among Democrats that the new chairman may have agreed to adjust monetary policy according to the president's wishes. Claudia Sahm, chief economist at New Century Advisors, stated that, in fact, if the election results lead Trump to end the Iran conflict and abandon further tariffs, the Fed may not need to raise interest rates again.
