WH NEC Dir Kevin Hassett told me in an ivw it would be a “very bad time” for the Fed to pause rate cuts in Dec bc he thinks the govt shutdown dented GDP by 1.5% in Q4. Said airline execs complained to him abt disruption/ppl have canceled travel so tough to handicap full impact
“If you’ve got, before this report, a whole bunch of stuff that would argue in favor of another cut, then you’d have to ask yourself, is this job's number is large enough so that it would offset that other news,” US Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett tells

BREAKING: Atlanta Fed president Bostic announced today he will retire at the end of Feb 2026 when his term is set to end. This takes a hawk off the Fed; remains to be seen who he's replaced with to see how the apple cart is rearranged. One less hawk tilts pot towards more cuts.

(2/2) The president wants to get a good return for the taxpayer. But also under consideration could be warrants or loans and may not necessarily be with the companies mentioned in the WSJ report. The admin I'm told is getting lots of pitches from companies
