Quote of the Day
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during an interview Monday that the Federal Reserve should \u201cwait and see\u201d before adjusting interest rates \u2014 and then appeared to clarify those remarks Tuesday by calling on central bankers to cut rates after monitoring economic conditions.<\/p>\n

“No, no, no. If you notice, I said that they could, they could observe before they cut rates. So … the impetus here is they still, they will need to cut rates,” Bessent\u00a0told Reuters\u00a0and other news outlets Tuesday when asked if his comments a day earlier had signaled a shift by the Trump administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning, Central Florida.\u00a0Here’s what you need to know today.
