United States (US) President Donald Trump criticizes Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell, in an interview with Politico during the European trading session on Tuesday, for not reducing interest rates, calling him "not a smart person". Trump also talked about the current status of truce discussions with Russia and Ukraine.
Additional remarks
Would make support for immediately slashing interest rates as a litmus test in the choice of a new Fed chair (well, duh).
Ukraine hasn't had an election in a long time.
No question Russia has a stronger position.
On Ukraine: Europe is not handling it well.
Europe nations are 'decaying, leaders are 'weak'.
Trump denies pledging a bailout for Hungary.
Trump may make tariff changes to lower some prices.
Trump declined to rule out troops in Venezuela.
Could extend anti-drug military operations to Mexico and Colombia.
Market reaction
US President Trump's comments seem ineffective on the US Dollar (USD). The US Dollar Index (DXY) remains steady around 99.00 as of writing.
