🚨 President Trump Demands Immediate Rate Cuts as December 10 Meeting Nears
U.S. President Donald Trump is once again turning up the heat on the Federal Reserve. According to Coinpedia Fintech News, Trump now says immediate rate cuts are a requirement for whoever becomes the next Fed Chair — making it a non-negotiable condition.
With the next Fed meeting just 1 day away, this ultimatum is adding fuel to an already tense economic moment.
🔻 Is the Fed’s Independence at Risk?
Trump’s stance raises a major concern:
The Federal Reserve is meant to operate independently, free from political influence. If the next chair is pressured to cut rates, it could shake market confidence, increase volatility, and even weaken trust in the U.S. dollar.
📅 All Eyes on the December 10 FOMC Meeting
Markets are already expecting a rate cut:
CME FedWatch: ~90% odds of a 25 bps cut
Polymarket & Kalshi: 94–95% odds
Supported by cooling inflation (2.7% core PCE) and 4.4% unemployment
Betting platforms show near-certainty the Fed will ease.
🟡 Impact on Bitcoin & Crypto
Lower interest rates usually support risk assets — including crypto.
But Bitcoin is currently under pressure:
Peak: $126,000 (October)
Now: ~$90,251 (down nearly 23%)
If the Fed signals deeper cuts ahead, Bitcoin could react sharply — either with a strong relief rally or more volatility depending on Powell’s tone.
