Fed’s Potential 300bp Rate Cut Sparks Economic Debate

The debate around the possible reduction of interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed) has gained traction following Donald Trump’s calls for a 300 basis points cut. Analysts voice concerns about the implications of such a move.

Implications of a Significant Rate Cut

Donald Trump is advocating for a 300 basis points reduction in interest rates. The largest recent cut occurred on March 15, 2020, with a reduction of 100 basis points. Experts are now evaluating the possible consequences of such a cut. Higher rates indeed increase national debt servicing costs, currently around $1.2 trillion annually, translating to approximately $3.3 billion daily.

Likelihood and Consequences of Such a Cut

While Trump emphasizes the need for rate reductions, even a 100 basis point cut would be significant, let alone a 300 basis points cut. Historically, the maximum cuts did not exceed 100 basis points, making Trump’s request less likely.

Economic Impact and Potential Outcomes

A 300 basis points cut may lead to complex consequences. The U.S. economy might grow beyond 3.8%, yet inflation could rise past 5%. Additionally, housing prices might surge over 25%, reducing affordability and exacerbating inflation pressures. The dollar also faces challenges, having recorded a -10.8% decline in the first half of 2025.

Thus, the discussion surrounding the potential 300 basis points rate cut by the Fed reveals a wide array of opinions and questions regarding the future of U.S. economic policy and its impact on domestic and global economies.
