3 Ways a Trump-Powell Faceoff Could Affect Your Wallet This Summer
Tensions are heating up again between President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump wants lower interest rates and Powell has so far not caved into his demands, which has drawn sharp criticism from the president. As of July 2025, the interest rate range is 4.25% to 4.50%, which has been holding steady since Trump took office, and it doesn't appear Powell has plans to reduce rates right now. Trending Now: Try This: In a June 2025 Federal Reserve press release, the Fed acknowledged that inflation is 'somewhat elevated,' but stated the economy is in a stable state, as unemployment 'remains low,' and the labor market is 'solid.' However, the main reason the Fed hasn't lowered the rates is because of Trump's tariff policies. While attending the European Central Bank Forum on Central Banking, Powell said, 'In effect, we went on hold when we saw the size of the tariffs, and essentially all inflation forecasts for the United States went up materially as a consequence of the tariffs,' per CNBC. While Trump and Powell are at a standstill, here's how it could impact your money. Credit Cards Household budgets have been stretched over the last few years due to the pandemic and inflation, which has caused many to heavily rely on credit cards to survive, CivicScience reported. As of the first quarter of this year, Americans owe a collective $1.18 trillion in credit card debt, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and higher interest rates make it more challenging to get debt under control. 'If Powell keeps rates high to fight inflation, credit card APRs stay painfully elevated,' said Danny Ray, founder of PinnacleQuote. 'That means every balance you carry costs you more, and minimum payments stretch families even thinner.' He added, 'Over time, that eats away at savings and slows down spending power, especially for middle- and lower-income Americans.' Check Out: Mortgage Rates and Home Affordability Higher interest rates mean homebuyers and owners pay more or don't buy because it's unaffordable. 'For example, a family looking to buy a $350,000 home could pay hundreds more each month compared to a lower-rate environment,' Ray said. 'In fact, it prices many first-time buyers out entirely, forcing them to rent longer, often at inflated rates.' Risk of Inflation Inflation is slowly cooling and has dropped a bit. In January the rate was 3%, and as of June the inflation rate was 2.7%, but the Fed is worried about rates rising again. 'We need to be cautious if rates drop too quickly, we risk reigniting inflation, which could drive prices up and actually push many buyers out of the market, even with lower monthly payments,' said Peter Diamond, a federally licensed tax, accounting, real estate, and structure and certified bankability Expert®. Why Cutting Interest Rates Is Needed According to Diamond, Trump has a valid point for pushing the Fed to slash rates, but doesn't agree with the president's numbers. 'Trump is calling for 2% lower, which I think is excessive, but even 0.5 to 1% lower will have a big impact on the economy,' he said. Cutting rates would be beneficial in several ways, Diamond explained. 'Cheaper debt and mortgages are a win for the economy and everyday Americans — lower interest rates mean more affordable housing and business investment,' he added. 'Yes, it could stoke inflation and push asset prices higher, but honestly our rates aren't sky-high by historical standards. The rates peak from previous cycles like the 5.25% to 5.50% range we saw in mid-2024, and nothing compared to the 1980s.' While Trump and Powell face off, the middle-class suffers, according to Ray. 'Above all, uncertainty like this rattles the economy and keeps average folks stuck waiting and worrying instead of building wealth,' he said.

Trump Official Says More Talks Needed to Clinch India Deal
(Bloomberg) -- US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said 'more negotiations' will be needed with India on a trade deal just days before an Aug. 1 deadline for higher tariffs. Budapest's Most Historic Site Gets a Controversial Rebuild San Francisco in Talks With Vanderbilt for Downtown Campus Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy Washington needs additional talks to gauge how ambitious India's government is willing to be to secure a trade agreement, Greer said in an interview on CNBC on Monday. He acknowledged he had previously suggested a deal with New Delhi might be imminent, but highlighted that India's historic policy of strongly protecting its market meant that reducing barriers would represent a major reversal. 'We continue to speak with our Indian counterparts, we've always had very constructive discussions with them,' he said. The comments indicate that India's hopes of securing an interim trade deal before the Aug. 1 deadline are fading as New Delhi and Washington are yet to find a common ground on contentious issues. While India was among the first nations to approach the White House for trade talks earlier this year, it has recently toughened its stance in negotiations. India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry didn't immediately respond to an email seeking further comment. 'They have expressed strong interest in opening portions of their market, we of course are willing to continue talking to them,' Greer said. 'But I think we need some more negotiations on that with our Indian friends to see how ambitious they want to be.' He spoke a few days after Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said he was optimistic that an agreement could be reached to avert threatened tariffs of 26%. Goyal insisted there weren't any sticking points in the US-India relationship, and said that immigration rules — including those around H-1B visas for skilled workers — had not come up in talks. Greer did not say what would happen if no deal was reached with India by the White House's deadline. US President Donald Trump has touted zero tariffs in the preliminary agreements with the European Union and Japan, while promising to impose even higher duties on Aug. 1 for countries that haven't cut deals.

Trump has separately threatened to hit countries like India and China with 'secondary tariffs' for buying oil from Russia. As part of its trade negotiations, India has expressed willingness to offer zero tariffs on some goods like auto components and pharmaceuticals, while barriers on sectors like agriculture and dairy remain red lines it won't breach in the final agreement, Bloomberg News reported earlier this month. 'The thing to understand with India is their trade policy for a very long time has been premised on strongly protecting their domestic market. That's just how they do business' Greer said. 'And the president is in a mode of wanting deals that substantially open other markets, that they open everything or near everything.' Slow Business The uncertainty on India-US trade agreement has slowed business activity in some sectors, with industries from gems to toys and textiles witnessing order suspensions. Kanodia Global, a manufacturer and exporter of home fabrics and textiles to the US, said customers including Walmart Inc. are turning cautious and holding out on giving large orders. US buyers want shorter delivery time as they don't want their money stuck while the final tariff rate changes, said the company's director Ashish Kanodia. 'Our orders are stuck in limbo. If certainty is there, we will be able to move forward.' Sabyasachi Ray, executive director at The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council, also expressed concern over weak business. 'People are tired,' he said. 'We will be highly affected. But something has to come, so we will see.'
