@Claudia_Sahm What’s weird is that “Democrats” are often in favor of rate cuts. The Fed should not be political.

"“This is not normal [a reaction to the party-line committee vote] is going to be a theme,” Sahm told Fortune. “Frankly, it could be a theme for Warsh’s tenure as Fed chair.” fortune.com/2026/04/30/kev…

The US economy is booming! And this certainly is part of the reason.

Good job by Andrew Hardy (@hardyjournalism) summarizing today's I Bond news. I said: "Could the fixed rate go higher in the future? Yes, definitely, but 0.9% remains an attractive fixed rate." money.com/new-i-bonds-ra…

The Series I Savings Bond will get a fixed rate of 0.90% and a composite rate of 4.26% for purchases from May through October. This is a unique, flexible, and valuable investment for capital preservation. My analysis: tipswatch.com/2026/04/30/tre…

@yfan741 @nipacrand Chris and C, purchases on April 30 will be processed on May 1, so any purchase today gets the May-issue I Bond. I appreciate that TreasuryDirect updated its notifications to reflect this.

@tontonlove I would love to see a consolidated 1099 tax form from TreasuryDirect. We can dream.

@TipsWatch Yay! I was a buyer yesterday. I-bonds for the win.
I understand paper reduction but I still think there should be, at least, an end of year mailed paper statement for financial accounts, including Treasury.

When the U.S. governments sloshes out money with little oversight and regulation ... wow ... fraudsters pour in.

So close to saying he is leaving… but he is staying. Confusing days ahead.

Powell is staying, for now: “Afer my term as chair ends on May 15th, I will continue to serve as a governor for a period of time to be determined. I intend to keep a low profile.”

Pro-rate-hiking dissent at the Fed definitely opens the door for Jerome Powell to step away. Interesting signal.
Ben Casselman@bencasselman
@colbyLsmith It's hard not to read these dissents as the regional Fed presidents sending a message to Warsh that they will not automatically go along with cuts. Not that they don't believe what they are saying, given the recent inflation data. But the sheer number of dissents is striking.

The current "prediction market" craze is dangerous because it is gambling, and subject to all the dangers of gambling. Plus rabid insider trading. "Since 2022 ... the top 1% captured three-quarters of the profits." (Gift article) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
