yan's carter joins us now yes how has the fed reacted to these developments what can we expect from domestic policy. well there have been comments from james bullard's and he is the head of the federal reserve from san louis and he actually said that history has shown that it's not a good idea or if you get directed by politics out of washington that actually could to worsen the economic situation and could pump up inflation in the long run he also said that it's basically impossible and also not a good idea to react to those day to day comments so that we get about trade policies still and the statement from the federal reserve is pretty clear at this point i'm so far markets at least expect one more rate cut possibly in the 10 member but overall the federal reserve does not seem to really react to the
