In a recent post, US Commerce Secretary Lutnick urged on X platform that the US, as the greatest country in the world, is burdened with the highest interest rates among all first-class nations. Our Fed Chair seems to be afraid of his own shadow.

The truly distressing aspect of Powell's remarks is that he claims tariffs have led to price increases in certain product categories, such as personal computers.
