President Trump's demand for a drastic Federal Reserve interest rate cut to 1% is deemed unrealistic by Wall Street experts. The current rate of 4.25%-4.50% would require a significant reduction, far exceeding the Fed's typical adjustments. Economists warn that such a move could trigger market turmoil, raise borrowing costs, and potentially signal an economic emergency, discouraging business investment. While some believe a rate reduction to around 3.5% is possible, a 1% rate is considered economically unsound and likely to cause inflation.
