Fed nominee Stephen Miran urges larger rate cut, citing Trump policies, but faces broad skepticism.
Stephen Miran, President Trump’s appointee to the Federal Reserve, is pushing for a 0.5 percentage point interest rate cut—larger than the Fed’s recent 0.25 point move—arguing Trump’s policies have lowered the economy’s neutral rate and caused disinflation.
He warns high rates risk recession and downplays inflation from tariffs and deportations.
His views, however, are not shared by other Fed officials, including fellow Trump appointees, and have drawn skepticism from economists like Larry Summers and Michael Feroli.
Fed Governor Lisa Cook questioned Miran’s link between immigration and housing inflation, emphasizing labor market effects instead.
Miran’s stance remains isolated within the central bank.
