Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell asserted the Fed doesn’t consider political pressure in any way.

Stephen Moore, a proposed nominee for the Federal Reserve, said he’s planning to challenge the belief inside the U.S. central bank that growth causes inflation.

At least three Republican senators said they won’t back President Donald Trump’s choice of Herman Cain for the Federal Reserve Board, putting his prospective nomination in danger.

Although Federal Reserve policy makers agree they need an “ample” supply of reserves to ensure control over short-term interest rates, they’re having trouble agreeing on how much that actually is.

Fed policymakers grappled with “significant uncertainties” as they scrapped forecasts for interest-rate hikes in 2019.

President Trump said that it’s up to Herman Cain to determine whether he can win Senate confirmation.

Equity investors have been worried about the wrong yield curve, according to a strategist at JPMorgan Chase & Co.

“I personally think the Fed should drop rates. I think they really slowed us down. There’s no inflation," President Trump said on Friday.

The economy looks fundamentally sound, leading Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Patrick Harker to question the importance of a yield curve inversion.

President Donald Trump intends to nominate Herman Cain for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, according to people familiar with the matter.
