Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Monday that the central bank won’t wait until inflation hits 2% before cutting interest rates.Speaking at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C., Powell mentioned the idea that central bank policy operates with “long and variable lags” to explain why the Fed won’t wait to achieve its goals.”What that means is that if you wait until inflation gets down to 2 percent, you’ve probably waited too long, because the tightening, or the level of tightening, that we’re currently having is still having the effect of pushing inflation down below 2 percent,” Powell said.Instead, the Fed…

The bank’s net revenue rose 17% year over year to $12.7 billion, though certain segments saw…

Trump, or any Republican candidate, is not going to lose Tennessee in the 2024 presidential election (let’s be honest, Joe Biden is no Bill Clinton). And yet Trump is stopping by a Bitcoin conference in the Volunteer State during a very busy election season, in the same way that candidates speak in airplane hangars to drum up military votes, or in front of factories in the name of blue-collar America, accompanied by…
