Trump sends Powell a list of global interest rates, says Fed should lower rate to 1%
President Donald Trump on Monday continued hammering at the U.S. Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy, sending Fed Chair Jerome Powell a list of central bank interest rates around the world adorned with handwritten commentary saying the U.S. rate should be between Japan's 0.5 per cent and Denmark's 1.75 per cent, and telling him he was 'as usual, 'too late.'' 'You should lower the rate by a lot. Hundreds of billions being lost,' Trump said in the note, which was also posted to social media with further commentary from the President saying that being a central banker in the U.S. was 'one of the easiest, yet most prestigious jobs in America, and they have should be paying 1% interest, or better!' A 1 per cent policy rate in the past in the U.S. has been associated with weak, even recessionary economic growth rates and periods of low inflation. As have many of Trump's posts on monetary policy, this one seemed to conflate the benchmark short-term interest rate set by the Fed with the interest rate investors demand to hold U.S. and other debt, which can be influenced by Fed policy but is also connected to views about the U.S. economy, inflation, geopolitics and institutional stability. With the unemployment rate low and inflation above their 2 per cent target, Fed officials have been reluctant to cut interest rates from the current 4.25 per cent to 4.5 per cent range until it is clear that the Trump administration's tariff plans won't lead to a fresh surge in prices. Federal Reserve officials continued to raise those concerns on Monday, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent began mapping out the likely plan for naming Powell's replacement for when he leaves the job next May. Trump cannot fire Powell over a policy dispute, but last week urged him to resign. Tariff threats put the Federal Reserve in 'uncomfortable purgatory' Bessent in recent days, by contrast, has pointed to a more conventional handover of power at the Fed instead of attempts to influence monetary policy through early appointment of a 'shadow chair' or other methods. 'There's a seat opening up ... in January. So we've given thought to the idea that perhaps that person would go on to become the chair when Jay Powell leaves in May,' Bessent said on Bloomberg TV. Current Governor Adriana Kugler's term expires in January. Bessent on Friday said a January opening would 'probably mean an October, November nomination' with Senate confirmation following. One person under consideration as chair, Governor Christopher Waller, is already on the board and participating in monetary policy discussions; others, like former governor Kevin Warsh, would remain on the sidelines until a seat comes open and the nominee for it is confirmed by the Senate. Though Trump's insistence on rate cuts could make for a difficult confirmation hearing – the Fed is supposed to act independently of the wants of elected officials – data this summer will be key to whether tensions between the White House and the central bank intensify or ease in coming weeks if policy makers find a path to rate cuts on their own. Investors expect the Fed to resume cutting the benchmark policy rate at the September meeting and move steadily lower from there. Economists from Goldman Sachs, who have been pessimistic about the U.S. growth and inflation outlook and had expected the Fed to wait until the end of the year to cut rates, on Monday pulled their estimated first cut into September as well. 'We thought that the peak summer tariff effects on monthly inflation would make it awkward to cut sooner. But the very early evidence suggests that the tariff effects look a bit smaller than we expected, other disinflationary forces have been stronger, and we suspect that the Fed leadership shares our view that tariffs will only have a one-time price level effect,' Goldman economists wrote. Waller has said cuts could be warranted as soon as the Fed's July meeting, and paused if inflation does begin to rise. The Fed receives new jobs data on Thursday, covering the month of June, which will indicate if the labour market is beginning to sputter, a development that could also add to the case for rate cuts sooner rather than later. New inflation data is released next week. July 9 is also top of mind for the Fed: That's the day the current suspension of some of Trump's tariffs expires, and it remains unclear whether import taxes will skyrocket or Trump's program be delayed again pending negotiations. Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic repeated on Monday that he still sees the central bank cutting its interest rate target just once this year, while suggesting there's no urgency to act given the level of uncertainty. 'I think we actually have some luxury to be patient because labour markets are actually quite solid,' Bostic said in an event hosted by Market News International. 'I think there is actually more pricing to come, and it is more a question of time, of when and not if ... This is still going to take some time before we'll sort of know the answer to those sorts of things.'

Oracle (ORCL) Stock Hits an All-Time High Amid Increased Cloud Demand
Optimism surrounding Oracle's ORCL cloud and AI infrastructure endeavors pushed its stock to an all-time high of $228 a share on Monday. This comes as the enterprise cloud leader has secured lucrative contracts thanks to its momentum in AI, with many analysts starting to raise their price targets for Oracle stock. That said, let's see if now is a good time to buy ORCL for higher highs. Massive Cloud Deal & AI Momentum Although the identity of the customer was not disclosed, Oracle stock spiked +4% on Monday following news of a regulatory filing in which the company had signed a massive $30 billion annual cloud services deal. Given the scale and nature of the contract, many analysts believe the client could be a major AI player like OpenAI. To that point, Oracle and OpenAI have formed a strategic partnership, collaborating on a massive AI training hub in Texas. As part of a broader $500 billion AI infrastructure initiative, which also includes Nvidia NVDA, Oracle is the venture's core infrastructure provider. Deemed Project Stargate, Oracle will be helping to expand OpenAI's compute capacity beyond Microsoft MSFT Azure. Embarking on a multi-cloud strategy, Microsoft and OpenAI are using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to integrate Azure's AI cloud platform to produce enhanced training for large-language models (LLMs). With demand booming for OCI, Oracle's MultiCloud revenue is reportedly growing at over 100% in correlation with the need to support generative AI workloads such as OpenAI's ChatGPT. Reporting its fiscal fourth-quarter results earlier in the month, Oracle's Q4 sales stretched 11% year over year to $15.9 billion, pinpointing that its MultiCloud database revenue spiked 115% sequentially, driven by partnerships with Amazon's AMZN AWS and Alphabet's GOOGL Google Cloud, along with Microsoft Azure. ORCL Performance & Valuation Comparison Following today's rally, ORCL is up +30% in 2025. More impressive, Oracle stock is now sitting on +200% gains in the last three years to vastly outperform the broader indexes and its Zacks Computer-Software Market's +95%, which includes Microsoft stock at +90%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Furthermore, despite Oracle's blazing stock performance, at 31.3X forward earnings, ORCL still trades beneath Microsoft's 37.1X and their Zacks Computer-Software Industry average of 35.9X. Analysts Upgrade ORCL Price Target to $250 Citing strong cloud momentum, AI infrastructure growth, and a bullish outlook for Oracle's current fiscal year 2026, several financial firms have upped their price target for ORCL shares to $250, including analysts at Stifel, UBS, and Guggenheim. Bottom Line At the moment, Oracle stock currently lands a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). However, it wouldn't be surprising if a buy rating is on the way and perhaps higher highs for ORCL, as earnings estimates for Oracle are likely to rise in correlation with the announcement of its lucrative cloud services deal. Zacks Names #1 Semiconductor Stock It's only 1/9,000th the size of NVIDIA which skyrocketed more than +800% since we recommended it. NVIDIA is still strong, but our new top chip stock has much more room to boom. With strong earnings growth and an expanding customer base, it's positioned to feed the rampant demand for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Internet of Things. Global semiconductor manufacturing is projected to explode from $452 billion in 2021 to $803 billion by 2028.

Trump signs an executive an executive order ending U.S. sanctions on Syria
President Donald Trump listens during a briefing with the media, Friday, June 27, 2025, at the White House in Washington. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday ending most U.S. economic sanctions on Syria, following through on a promise he made to the country's new interim leader. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the move was designed to 'promote and support the country's path to stability and peace.' The executive order is meant to 'end the country's isolation from the international financial system, setting the stage for global commerce and galvanizing investments from its neighbors in the region, as well as from the United States,' Treasury's acting under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, Brad Smith, told reporters on a call Monday morning to preview the administration's action. Monday's actions do not rescind sanctions imposed on ousted former President Bashar Assad, his top aides, family members and officials who had been determined to have committed human rights abuses or been involved in drug trafficking or part of Syria's chemical weapons program. Known as the Caesar Act sanctions, they can only be repealed by law. The White House posted the text of the order on X after the signing, which was not open to the press. The U.S. granted Syria sweeping exemptions from sanctions in May, which was a first step toward fulfilling the Republican president's pledge to lift a half-century of penalties on a country shattered by 13 years of civil war. Along with the lifting of economic sanctions, Monday's executive order lifts the national emergency outlined in an executive order issued by former President George W. Bush in response to Syria's occupation of Lebanon and pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, Treasury officials said. Five other previous executive orders related to Syria were also lifted. Sanctions targeting terrorist groups and manufacturers and sellers of the amphetamine-like stimulant Captagon will remain in place. Trump met with Syria's interim leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, in Saudi Arabia in May and told him he would lift sanctions and explore normalizing relations in a major policy shift in relations between the U.S. and Syria. 'This is another promise made and promise kept,' Leavitt said Monday. The European Union has also followed through with lifting nearly all remaining sanctions on Syria. Still, some restrictions remain in place. The U.S. still designates Syria as a state sponsor of terrorism and the group led by al-Sharaa as a foreign terrorist organization. A State Department official said the department is reviewing those designations. By Fatima Hussein And Matthew Lee.
