Fed makes post-presidential election rate cut
Chair Powell stresses Trump’s election will have no effect on near term policy; has no plans to resign

Fed chair Jerome Powell stressed at a press conference that despite a sharp appreciation of the US dollar, a notable shift in US Treasury yields and a rise in US equities following the election of Donald Trump as US president, the election result had no bearing on the FOMC’s November deliberations.
