Bitcoin Edges up After Trump Says He Won’t Fire Powell
U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday that his administration is not planning on firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, despite rumors claiming otherwise.
Trump Softens Stance on Powell, Bitcoin Climbs
Bitcoin ( BTC) reclaimed $119K on Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump shut down rumors that his was on the verge of firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Reporting from CNBC claims that an unnamed White House official confirmed on Tuesday that the president, after consulting with a group of Republican lawmakers, made a verbal commitment to get rid of Powell for being overly hawkish.
Trump has launched multiple public attacks on the Fed chair, criticizing him for dragging his feet and costing the country “one trillion dollars a year” in national debt payments by maintaining the target interest rate between 4.25% and 4.50% instead of slashing it by three points.
But despite the Tuesday rumor, and Trump’s public criticism of Powell, the president took a softer stance on Wednesday. “We’re not planning on doing it,” Trump said after being questioned about his alleged plan to sack the Fed chair, before adding a caveat. “I won’t rule anything out.”
