彭博社调查：美联储在9月只会降息25个基点

Odaily Odaily News: Bloomberg&#39;s latest survey of economists shows that nearly four-fifths of respondents expect the Fed to only cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September, and the median estimate shows that the probability of an emergency rate cut before the September meeting is only 10%.

Bloomberg survey: The Federal Reserve will only cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September.

Odaily Planet Daily Report: Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers warned against allowing the president to interfere with the formulation of monetary policy, as it will ultimately damage the economy over time. "It's a foolish game to let politicians get involved," Summers said on Friday. "The ultimate result is higher inflation and a weaker economy."

The day before Summers made these remarks, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stated that he believes the president should have a certain "say" in the Federal Reserve's policy formulation. The former president had urged Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to loosen policy during his tenure, saying, "I think in many cases, my instinct is better than theirs or their chairman's."

"I'm really shocked at the poor quality of this idea," Summers said, referring to Trump's proposal, "The president has a lot of things to do at any given time, and in fact is much less closely connected to the economy than the 19 Fed governors and chairs who are constantly reviewing every economic statistic."

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Summers emphasized that central banks around the world have been granted independence for a long time, as they recognize that politicians have a "serious conflict of interest" when it comes to monetary policy. He stated that officials "will always be tempted to print more money, lower interest rates - to floor the accelerator to try to boost the economy."

Summers, who held senior economic positions in the Clinton and Obama administrations, said this pressure increases people's inflationary expectations, which will push up long-term interest rates. "You'll get higher inflation, but you won't get any meaningful output growth."

Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Summers opposes political interference in the Federal Reserve and expects a 50-basis-point rate cut in September.
