> President Donald Trump again said he favors lower interest rates. He also acknowledged that the decision does not rest solely with the central bank chief. Trump’s comments were notably softer than the sharp attacks he had directed at Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh’s predecessor. The remarks suggest continued pressure for easier monetary policy, while recognizing that the rate-setting authority is not controlled by one person alone.
