Federal Reserve could cut interest rates this year, but for 'bad' reasons

Even as the economy undergoes what may be wrenching changes, the Federal Reserve on Wednesday is expected to signal it could cut its key interest rate twice this year - the same forecast it issued in December. Yet the reasons for those cuts may change dramatically, depending on how the economy fares. What were once seen as good news rate reductions in response to a steady decline in inflation back to the Fed's target of 2%, now could become bad news cuts that would be implemented to offset an economy struggling in the wake of widespread tariffs, rapid cuts in government spending, and a spike in economic uncertainty.

Barr, however, stayed on the seven-member Fed board, forcing Trump to pick from one of the existing governors. Her nomination was welcomed by banking industry lobbying groups, including the American Bankers Association and the Independent Community Bankers of America. As Vice Chair, Bowman will be the most powerful federal bank regulator, and will coordinate with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on developing bank rules. The position requires Senate confirmation, though analysts expect she
