U.S. Fed's Brainard, George monitoring stock market rout

WASHINGTON - Federal Reserve officials said they were monitoring the U.S. stock market rout on Monday as they assess how renewed trade tensions between the United States and China may impact the economy and the course of monetary policy.

“I am certainly monitoring developments for their implications for the outlook and I will continue to be very attentive to them,” Fed Governor Lael Brainard said at a forum at the Kansas City Fed.While Fed officials says they avoid attaching too much importance to daily market changes, even large ones, sustained declines in stock prices can affect business and household spending plans, and influence how the U.S. central bank views the economy.

Kansas City Fed President Esther George, by contrast, voted against that rate cut, but said on Monday she was also keeping an eye on the market’s reaction to the latest intensification of the U.S.-China trade war. The day’s events show the uncomfortable bind the Fed is in, caught between a U.S. economy that continues to perform relatively well, and Trump administration trade policies that have put financial markets on edge and raised economic risks.

They think they’re going to fix Trump’s sociopathic behavior with a rate cut? Genius.
