Fed keeps interest rates steady despite Trump's push for cuts
The Federal Reserve left its key short-term interest rate unchanged for the fifth time this year, brushing off repeated calls from President Donald Trump for a Fed's decision Wednesday leaves its key short-term rate at about 4.3%, where it has stood after the central bank made three cuts last year. Chair Jerome Powell has said the Fed would likely have cut rates already if not for Trump's sweeping tariffs. Powell and other Fed officials say they want to see how Trump's duties on imports will impact inflation and the broader economy. So far, the duties have lifted the costs of some goods, such as appliances, furniture, and toys, and overall inflation has risen a bit, though less than many economists had were some signs of splits in the Fed's ranks: Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman voted to reduce borrowing costs, while 9 officials, including Powell, favored standing pat. It is the first time in more than three decades that two of the seven Washington-based governors have dissented. One official, Governor Adriana Kugler, was absent and didn't vote. The choice to hold off on a rate cut will almost certainly result in further conflict between the Fed and White House, as Trump has repeatedly demanded that the central bank reduce borrowing costs as part of his effort to assert control over one of the few remaining independent federal argues that because the US economy is doing well, rates should be lowered. But unlike a blue-chip company that usually pays lower rates than a troubled start-up, the Fed adjusts rates to either slow or speed growth, and would be more likely to keep them high if the economy is strong to prevent an inflationary Wednesday, the government said the economy expanded at a healthy 3% annual rate in the second quarter, though that figure followed a negative reading for the first three months of the year, when the economy shrank 0.5% at an annual rate. Most economists averaged the two figures to get a growth rate of about 1.2% for the first half of this of the disagreement likely reflects jockeying to replace Powell, whose term ends in May 2026. Waller in particular has been mentioned as a potential future Fed meanwhile, last dissented in September 2024, when the Fed cut its key rate by a half-point. She said she preferred a quarter point cut instead, and cited the fact that inflation was still above 2.5% as a reason for also said earlier this month that he favoured cutting rates, but for very different reasons than Trump has cited: Waller thinks that growth and hiring are slowing, and that the Fed should reduce borrowing costs to forestall a weaker economy and a rise in are other camps on the Fed's 19-member rate-setting committee (only 12 of the 19 actually vote on rate decisions). In June, seven members signalled that they supported leaving rates unchanged through the end of this year, while two suggested they preferred a single rate cut this year. The other half supported more reductions, with eight officials backing two cuts, and two -- widely thought to be Waller and Bowman -- supporting three dissents could be a preview of what might happen after Powell steps down, if President Donald Trump appoints a replacement who pushes for the much lower interest rates the White House desires. Other Fed officials could push back if a future chair sought to cut rates by more than economic conditions would otherwise the committee's quarterly forecasts in June suggested the Fed would cut twice this year. There are only three more Fed policy meetings -- in September, October, and December -- and some economists forecast that a cut will occur in September. Wall Street investors also expect cuts in September and December, according to futures the Fed cuts its rate, it often -- but not always -- results in lower borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans and credit economists agree with Waller's concerns about the job market. Excluding government hiring, the economy added just 74,000 jobs in June, with most of those gains occurring in health are in a much slower job hiring backdrop than most people appreciate,' said Tom Porcelli, chief US economist at PGIM Fixed Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, said in a note to clients this week if the pair were to dissent, 'it would say more about auditioning for the Fed chair appointment than about economic conditions.'The Fed's two-day meeting comes after a week of extraordinary interactions with the Trump White House, which has accused Powell of mismanaging an extensive, $2.5 billion renovation of two office buildings. Trump suggested two weeks ago that the rising cost for the project could be a 'firing offense' but has since backed off that Trump argues that the Fed should cut because the economy is doing very well, which is a different viewpoint than nearly all economists, who say that a healthy, growing economy doesn't need rate cuts.'If your economy is hot, you're supposed to have higher short-term rates,' Porcelli said.- EndsMust Watch

Now, 1% stamp duty relief to women buyers on properties up to Rs 1 crore
Noida: Women purchasing a house or land worth up to Rs 1 crore will now get 1% waiver on stamp duty, with UP cabinet last week revising the cap on properties eligible for the rebate from the previous Rs 10 lakh. In Noida and Ghaziabad, one has to pay 6-7% of the total cost of a flat in stamp duty and an additional 1% as a processing fee for registration. With the revised limit coming into effect on July 29, women can save up to Rs 1 lakh during property registration. AIG-2 (stamp department) Brijesh Kumar told TOI that nearly 30% of all properties registered per month in Noida are owned by women. Of the 1.8 lakh properties registered across the district in the 2024-25 fiscal year (FY), over 73,000 were owned by women. You Can Also Check: Noida AQI | Weather in Noida | Bank Holidays in Noida | Public Holidays in Noida In FY 2023-24, 1.5 lakh properties were registered, and nearly 60,000 were owned by women. Real estate experts said the rebate would benefit the mid-segment market, which mostly attracts first-time buyers. It would also encourage more families to register properties in the name of women, supporting the broader goal of financial inclusion and empowerment. "It not only incentivises women to take a more active role in property ownership but also signals a broader shift towards financial empowerment and gender equity in real estate. This initiative will encourage joint ownership, increase formal asset holding among women, and contribute to inclusive growth in the sector," Vipul Giri, president of CREDAI's Ghaziabad chapter, said. New Era Flat Owners Welfare Association (NEFOWA) president Abhishek Kuma told TOI that the rebate would benefit buyers who were waiting to register their properties, but new homebuyers may not feel the cushion as the cost of a 3BHK in Noida currently exceeds the Rs 1-crore threshold. "In Greater Noida, there are at least 30,000 flats in the range of Rs 60-70 lakh awaiting registry. So, a woman buyer could get a Rs 60,000 to Rs 70,000 rebate in stamp duty. However, the cost of flats in most new residential projects is now are above Rs 1 crore. The cap should have been at least Rs 2 crore for Noida, where affordable housing is an issue," Kumar said. Some homebuyers also pointed out that in Delhi, women pay only 4% stamp duty on the property value or circle rate, whichever is higher, while men are required to pay 6%, regardless of the property's price. Meanwhile, state stamp and registration minister Ravindra Jaiswal has directed all districts to revise circle rates to bring them on par with the prevailing market rate of properties. In Ghaziabad, the stamp department is currently conducting a survey to revise the circle rates. The final draft of the circle rates revision awaits approval from the district magistrate in Noida.
