Federal Reserve Governor Kugler Resigns amid Sharp Split over Interest Rates

Taarek Refaat Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler announced her resignation on Friday, creating a key vacancy just as President Donald Trump intensifies his push for steep interest rate cuts, in a rare and highly publicized rift within the U.S. central bank. In a letter addressed to President Trump, Kugler did not specify her reasons for stepping down, noting only that she would return to Georgetown University as a professor this fall. 'It has been a tremendous honor to serve on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve,' Kugler wrote. 'I am especially proud to have served during a critical time in fulfilling our dual mandate of bringing down inflation while maintaining a strong and resilient labor market.' Kugler's term was originally set to expire in January 2026. Her departure paves the way for Trump to nominate his own candidate to the seven-member Board of Governors. According to CNBC, two of Trump's previous appointees, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, voted against the Fed's decision on Wednesday to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged, signaling instead their preference for an immediate rate cut. The Federal Reserve held rates steady in its latest policy meeting, but remarks from Chair Jerome Powell afterward dampened expectations that borrowing costs would begin to fall in September. This triggered frustration from Trump, who has called for swift and deep rate reductions to stimulate the economy. The policy decision passed by a narrow 9–2 vote, an unusually divided outcome for a consensus-driven institution. It marked the first time in more than three decades that two Fed governors dissented from the majority on a key interest rate decision. The President nominates all members of the Fed's Board of Governors, subject to confirmation by the U.S. Senate. Kugler's resignation now gives Trump a critical opportunity to further reshape the central bank at a pivotal moment for U.S. monetary policy. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Global Gold Demand Rises 3% in Q2 2025 Amid Increased Investment

Waleed Farouk The World Gold Council announced that global demand for gold, including over-the-counter trading, increased by 3% year-on-year, reaching 1,248.8 tons in the second quarter of 2025, with investment rising by 78%. Gold prices have risen by 26% so far this year, after hitting a record high of $3,500 per ounce in April, as uncertain global trade policies and geopolitical disruptions fueled investment flows into safe-haven assets. The World Gold Council, an industry body that includes global gold mining companies, reported that demand for gold bars rose by 21% in the second quarter, compensating for the ongoing decline in demand for coins. Earlier in July, the World Gold Council announced that physically backed gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw their largest half-yearly inflow since the first half of 2020 during the period from January to June. Global consumption of gold jewelry, the main category for physical demand, fell by 14%, reaching 341.0 tons, the lowest level since the third quarter of 2020, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as rising prices deterred buyers. The World Gold Council stated that "most of the decline came from China and India, whose combined market share fell to below 50% for the third time in the past five years." According to the World Gold Council, central banks, another major source of demand for gold, reduced their purchases by 21%, reaching 166.5 tons in the second quarter, based on reported purchases and estimated unreported purchases. On the supply side, recycling added 4%, reaching 347.2 tons in the second quarter, but remained relatively low despite record prices, as Indian consumers chose to replace old jewelry with new pieces or pawn them as collateral for loans. The World Gold Council has lowered its estimate for central bank gold purchases this year, adding that the long-term trend of central banks reallocating investments from U.S. assets to gold remains intact. The World Gold Council also noted that gold ETFs have additional growth potential in the second half of this year, with expectations for a slight decline in retail investments. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
