特朗普再掀风波，威胁起诉美联储主席鲍威尔

Group 1 - Trump has intensified his conflict with the Federal Reserve, considering a lawsuit against Chairman Powell for "serious misconduct" related to the budget overruns of the Fed's headquarters renovation project, which escalated from an initial budget of $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion due to issues like asbestos handling and soil contamination [2] - The underlying conflict between Trump and Powell centers on monetary policy, with Trump criticizing Powell for being slow to lower interest rates and even threatening to fire him [2] - The selection process for the next Fed Chair is underway, with Powell set to leave in May next year, and Trump is actively interviewing candidates, expected to announce a new nominee in January [2] Group 2 - Market participants suggest that the new Fed Chair could be chosen from former Fed Governor Kevin Walsh, a critic of the Fed, or Kevin Hassett, the Director of the National Economic Council, who supports Trump's economic agenda and is likely to favor a more accommodative monetary policy [2] - Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan emphasized the importance of maintaining the Fed's independence, warning that a lack of independence could lead to market repercussions [3] - Moynihan expressed concerns about lowering interest rates too much, arguing that returning mortgage rates to 3% could hinder economic growth and merely offset recession impacts, contradicting Trump's view that lower rates would stimulate the economy [3]
