U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just took direct aim at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, criticizing the Fed’s prolonged high-rate strategy in a heated CNBC interview. Lutnick argued that Powell raised rates far more than necessary — driven, he says, by fear of navigating a $30 trillion global economy, not by data.
Despite Powell’s caution, Lutnick highlighted that the U.S. economy is already showing strong momentum with 4% GDP growth. And he didn’t stop there — he predicted growth could accelerate to 6% under President Donald Trump’s leadership, citing pro-business policy expectations.
Lutnick urged the Fed to cut rates and expand energy production, arguing these steps are essential to unlocking the next phase of U.S. economic expansion.
The message is loud and clear:
⚡ Lower rates
⚡ More energy
⚡ Faster growth
Markets are watching closely — and so are we.
