The post President Trump Demands Immediate Rate Cuts as December 10 Meeting Nears appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

U.S President Donald Trump has once again put the Federal Reserve under pressure. He just said immediate rate cuts are a requirement for the next Federal Reserve Chair. 

With the next Fed meeting just 1 day away, the timing of Trump’s ultimatum is adding even more heat to an already tense economic moment. How does the crypto market react to this?

Trump’s Rate Cut Demand for the Next Fed Chair

According to a report from Solid Intel, Trump wants the next Federal Reserve leader to guarantee lower interest rates as a core condition for the job. Trump has always said high rates slow the economy, but this time he is making it a strict condition.

By calling rate cuts a “non-negotiable” condition, no rate-cut commitment, no appointment.

This demand raises a big concern. The Federal Reserve is supposed to work independently and be free from political pressure. 

If a chair is pushed to cut rates, it can hurt market trust, create volatility, and weaken confidence in the U.S. dollar.

All Eyes on the December 10 Fed Meeting

Meanwhile, attention is already on the Federal Open Market Committee meeting scheduled for December 10. Market indicators like CME FedWatch show nearly 90% odds of a 25-bps rate cut, supported by cooling inflation (2.7% core PCE) and 4.4% unemployment.

Interestingly, Betting platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi show odds of 94–95%, aligning with forecasts from JPMorgan, Standard Chartered, and Nomura.

Impact on Bitcoin and Crypto

Lower interest rates often support risk assets like cryptocurrencies. The last rate cut in October 2025 helped ease market pressure, but Bitcoin, which hit a peak of $126,000 in October, has now fallen to around $90,251, down nearly 23%. 

If the Fed signals deeper cuts ahead, risk assets like bitcoin could see a strong reaction, either relief or more volatility, depending on Powell’s tone.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
