Trump's proposals to impose high tariffs on all imports and launch mass deportations of unauthorised immigrants and his threat to intrude on the Fed's normally independent rate decisions could send inflation surging, economists have said.
No one knows how Tuesday's presidential election will turn out, but the Federal Reserve's move two days later is much easier to predict: With inflation continuing to cool, the Fed is set to cut interest rates for a second time this year.
The presidential contest might still be unresolved when the Fed ends its two-day meeting Thursday afternoon, yet that uncertainty would have no effect on its decision to further reduce its benchmark rate.
