Trump says ‘Too Late’ Powell must lower interest rates after weak ADP jobs report

  • On Wednesday, ADP reported that U.S. Private payrolls increased by only 37,000 jobs in May, far below forecasts of 110,000 new jobs.
  • This weak job growth followed revised April gains and continued trade-related economic uncertainty that fueled President Trump’s calls for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.
  • Trump met with Fed Chair Jerome Powell last week, pressed him publicly and on social media to lower rates, branding Powell 'Too Late' for not reducing borrowing costs sooner.

  • The ADP report added weight to expectations of a slowing labor market and stronger pressure on the Fed to ease monetary policy despite concerns about inflation and data reliability.
