# Trump hints that the Federal Reserve may be ready to cut interest rates

> U.S. President Trump hinted that the Federal Reserve may be ready to cut interest rates. In his meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, they discussed interest rates and the budget for renovation projects. Trump stated that the talks went well and urged Powell to cut rates immediately. The market expects the Federal Reserve to maintain the benchmark interest rate in the range of 4.25%-4.50% at next week's policy meeting. The Federal Reserve expressed gratitude for Trump's support and looks forward to the smooth completion of the renovation projects

Reuters, July 25 - U.S. President Trump stated on Friday that he had a good meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Powell and that his impression is that the Fed Chairman may be ready to lower interest rates.

The two met on Thursday, when Trump made a rare visit to the Federal Reserve headquarters to inspect the ongoing renovation projects at two buildings in Washington. The White House had previously criticized the renovation costs as being too high. During the meeting, Trump and Powell had a disagreement over the project budget.

Trump also took the opportunity to publicly call for Powell to lower interest rates immediately.

The U.S. President told reporters on Friday, "We had a very good conversation... I think we had a very nice exchange on the issue of interest rates."

There is widespread expectation that the Federal Reserve will maintain its benchmark interest rate in the range of 4.25%-4.50% after the two-day policy meeting next week. Fed Chairman Powell had previously stated that more data should be awaited before adjusting interest rates.

The Federal Reserve also expressed its "gratitude" to Trump for his support of the renovation project at its Washington headquarters and stated that it "looks forward" to the successful completion of the project
