Surprising that as yet Donald Trump has not reacted to Jerome Powell's comments last night alluding to no rush to cut rates due to tariffs. I am expecting that he will a some stage start sounding off to try to exert further pressure on Powell to start a rate cutting cycle sooner rather than later?

"CHICAGO -- The Federal Reserve can stay patient and wait to see how tariffs and other economic policies of the Trump administration play out before making any changes to interest rates, Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday in Chicago.

"For the time being, we are well positioned to wait for greater clarity" on the impact of policy changes in areas such as immigration, taxation, regulation, and tariffs, Powell said.

The sharp volatility in financial markets since President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs April 2, only to put most of them on hold a week later, has led to speculation about whether the Fed would soon cut its key interest rate or take other steps to calm investors. Yet the Fed is unlikely to intervene unless there is a breakdown in the market for Treasury securities or other malfunctions, economists say.

In written remarks to be delivered to the Economic Club of Chicago, Powell reiterated that the Trump administration's tariffs are "significantly larger than anticipated.""

STP, it must be really tough for you that your head is an HMO where the "right" on this board are all living rent free.

"I definitely living in your head hardup!"

Plagiarism is another speciality of STP, or as the saying goes "monkey see monkey do".

"Morning hardup and I posted about lloyd and the share price yesterday, if you would be so kind as to check."

Your post about Lloyds share price yesterday was no more than a red herring, playing your little charade to attempt to fool others that you are a Lloyds share holder. Anyone can click on your ID which will take them to a page that shows a history of all of your posts you have made. Then trace back every post you have made since 27th March, which shows without doubt nearly all of your posts have nothing to do with Lloyds, with a few red herrings to try and fool others.

.....will be released this morning. Hope this will be another good day for Lloyds SP. GLA.

"The number of folks who talk about anything other than lloyds on here, and criticise anyone who does..."

STP, remember starting this thread with the above post on 27th March @23:37? Digging yourself deeper in the hole every day dip5hit!

Popcorn anyone!

"Hardup, stop asking stupid questions!"

I'm not asking stupid questions. I am simply putting the same question to you that you put to me on the 11th April asking me to validate my claim to being a Lloyds share holder by posting the time/date that I purchased my shares, which I did. Now all I am asking is you do the same. You've been caught with your pants down again STP and you are only digging yourself deeper in the hole again when you try and blag your way out of being caught out, as we all know you are not a Lloyds share holder.

STP

"I started buying and selling lloyds about 15 years ago."

So please tell us date/time of the posts you made when you purchased the shares.

STP

"Hardup, please can you give us the time/date of your post where you said you bought back in?"

As I was courteous enough to reply giving you the information you requested, so it would be courteous of you to do likewise. Please give us the time/date of your post(s) when you bought your Lloyds shares.

"The whole of UK banking was on the brink and at very real risk of collapse."

So he threw Lloyds under a bus.

"When the terrible Mr Brown 'saved the world'..."

And took Lloyds to the brink with the HBOS "deal"!

"Gordon Brown... Who care what he say. Look at mess he left and pensions still paying the price..."

Yes the man who sold most of the nations gold reserves in a firesale at bargain basement price of $276 per ounce.

"Gordon Brown has called for an “economic coalition of the willing” to respond to Donald Trump’s tariffs with coordinated economic policies, including a reduction of interest rates."

Which will then let the inflation genie out of the bottle.

"It Will be great entry point @ 54pish....imho... if it does then I will be buying a lot."

Possible it could drop to between 50p and 60p if Trumps tariff extortion malarkey drags on and the Car Finance scam goes worst case scenario against the lenders?
