US Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 50 basis points

Athira Sethu

Kochi, 22 April 2025

On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump addressed media and declared that he wishes to control the Federal Reserve more. He believes the Fed would reduce interest rates in the near future. Some experts cautioned that it would disturb the financial markets, but nothing occurred on that day since the markets were closed for Good Friday.

When markets reopened on Monday, Trump persisted in his attacks. He particularly aimed at Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve chairman, labeling him “Mr. Too Late” and “a big loser.” Trump insisted that Powell must reduce interest rates presently to prevent slowing the economy. Trump first appointed Powell to the position in 2017 during his first term as president.

The investors were unsettled after Trump made his statement. They sold off their holdings, and the biggest U.S. stock indices lost ground. S&P 500 declined 2.36%, the Dow Jones fell by 2.48%, while Nasdaq dipped by 2.55%.

The U.S. dollar also fell in value. It reached its lowest point since March 2022. At the same time, gold prices went up, hitting a new record of $3,452.30 per ounce. This is a sign that global investors are worried about the U.S. economy. Many are now putting their money into gold and other safer places.

This change demonstrates that Trump’s tough talk is having a genuine impact on the markets. Investors are anxious about what comes next, particularly if Trump continues to pressure the Federal Reserve or attempts to exert further control over it.

In short, Trump’s remarks generated a lot of activity in the financial markets on Monday. Stocks fell, the dollar depreciated, and gold appreciated. Investors are now waiting anxiously to see what Trump and the Federal Reserve will do next.
