Hassett sees no 'excuse' to raise rates, says Warsh will push Fed to 'right answer'

In a CNBC interview, Kevin Hassett praised President Trump's economic policies for a consumer price index that came in lower than expected, signaling potential inflation relief. Hassett argued there's no justification for raising interest rates, suggesting the Federal Reserve will arrive at the right decision. He also highlighted Warsh's influence in nudging the Fed towards a more favorable stance on rates.
