Trump urges Fed to cut rates

President Donald Trump called for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, despite traders expecting a 90% chance of a hike in the wake of August’s Consumer Price Index report. That data showed core inflation was higher than economists had estimated, with all signs pointing toward the Fed raising rates at this week's policy meeting. Trump told reporters over the weekend that the U.S. “should be paying the lowest interest rate in the world, regardless of their formulas," putting the president on "a collision course" with Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
