トランプ大統領だいとうりょう FRBパウエル議長ぎちょうを「解任かいにんするつもりない」

On the 22nd, President Trump of the United States stated that he has no intention of dismissing Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, despite ongoing conflicts over monetary policy.

In the financial markets, there was a situation where not only American stocks but also the dollar and U.S. government bonds were sold due to concerns that President Trump might proceed with dismissing Chairman Powell, hence an attempt was made to calm the situation.

The U.S. President Trump is in fierce conflict with the Federal Reserve Chairman Powell over monetary policy, and on the 17th of this month, he implied the possibility of dismissal by stating, If I want him to leave, he will leave immediately. Following this, a senior administration official also revealed on the 18th that President Trump is considering dismissal during his term.

On the 22nd, President Trump was asked by reporters at the White House whether he was considering dismissing Chairman Powell, to which he replied, I have never considered it.

I have no intention to dismiss, he stated.

In the financial markets, there was a situation where not only American stocks but also the dollar and U.S. government bonds were significantly sold off due to concerns that President Trump might proceed with the dismissal of Chairman Powell, thus an effort was made to calm the situation.

In response to this statement, the foreign exchange market saw a rapid move to buy back dollars, and the yen exchange rate temporarily weakened to the 143 yen per dollar range.

On the other hand, President Trump wants Chairman Powell to be a bit more aggressive about the idea of lowering interest rates.

It is the perfect time to lower interest rates now, he said, reiterating the demand to cut rates.
