From @vtg2: The Federal Reserve is poised to frustrate President Donald Trump. Again. https://t.co/ps6ZildFqk

The president is under fire from Democrats for what they say is his failure to bring down prices, and polls show voters lack confidence in his economic leadership.

Rising Obamacare premiums are a political problem for Republicans. Rising premiums for workers who get health insurance from their employers could be an even bigger one. via @kelhoops

It’s a perilous combination for 165 million people with employer-sponsored health insurance. Premiums are rising, while yearly pay raises shrink.

Scorching take here from Peter Conti-Brown. Re: Kugler though, Sen. Menendez basically held one of the Fed seats hostage until they appointed a Latino person, and that left them no room to appoint a new person for vice chair (leading to Jefferson’s promotion)
“The real failure here is not the seedy behavior of one unethical central banker, it is the failure of the entire Biden Administration to take central bank appointments seriously.”

The Federal Reserve might not cut interest rates in December, defying the hopes of President Donald Trump and much of Wall Street, with many officials believing the central bank should keep borrowing costs unchanged for the rest of the year. https://t.co/ye9ZGxA62Z

The split on the Fed board is a blow to the president, who wants dramatically lower borrowing costs and has revived his criticisms of Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

The Labor Dept confirmed there won't be an October jobs report because the shutdown interfered with surveying efforts. Still, some data will be included in the November report. via @NickNiedz

The move was largely anticipated as federal workers were unable to conduct a key household survey due to the government shutdown.

"I think I already know my choice," Trump says on nominee to replace Jerome Powell when Powell's term ends in spring. He said he liked Bessent for Fed chair "but he's not going to take the job. He refused." Trump said he'd "love" oust Powell now, "but people are holding me back."

"Things happen," he said.
Trump, sitting next to MBS in the Oval, says Khashoggi was "extremely controversial" and that "a lot of people didn't like that gentleman." He chides a reporter for "embarrass[ing]" MBS by asking about it. Trump earlier called MBS an "extremely respected man."
