Trump\u2019s plans for protectionist trade, lower corporate taxes, and immigration restrictions could spur inflation, while Harris\u2019s platform emphasizes social spending with steady Fed independence.<\/p>\n<p>The outcome of the election could have a significant impact on inflation and growth expectations, prompting the Fed to remain cautious.<\/p>\n<p>The possibility of a contested election further complicates the situation. Trump\u2019s campaign, built on a narrative of a \u201cstolen election\u201d in 2020, could lead to legal challenges if Harris wins, potentially slowing results in swing states.<\/p>\n<p>Legal experts expect challenges from conservative groups, though recent election reforms make it difficult to exploit past vulnerabilities. The Fed\u2019s approach of \u201cgradually\u201d reducing interest rates allows flexibility for further adjustments based on inflation trends, with the goal of maintaining economic stability in the face of heightened political and economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to many market analysts, the Federal Reserve may be preparing to cut interest
