Trump floats 1% rates; analysts warn of global financial disruption

President Trump has publicly suggested cutting the federal funds rate to 1%, a level not seen since the 2008 crisis. Analysts warn such a move would likely cause enormous disruption in the global financial system, given current inflation and market conditions. The proposal appears to be political pressure on the Fed rather than a formal policy, but it signals a potential shift in the administration's stance on monetary policy.
