PANews reported on March 4 that the US political establishment is taking urgent action to mitigate the impact of soaring electricity costs on this year's congressional elections. The US Department of Energy has issued a record $26.5 billion in loans to help large utilities in the Southeast reduce costs of building new power plants in Georgia and Alabama. Meanwhile, the nation's largest grid operator has proposed capping wholesale prices, and some governors are considering freezing utility rates to curb electricity spending. This affordability crisis prompted the White House to convene a meeting with tech giants on Wednesday. Trump demanded that companies like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google's parent company Alphabet sign pledges to pay for energy-intensive data centers. These data centers have been blamed as the "culprits" driving up electricity prices: in areas where data centers are active, electricity costs are 267% higher than five years ago; and since 2020, consumer electricity prices across the US have increased by more than 30%.

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…
