‘He's gotten to the point where he doesn't care at all,’ according to a White House official with knowledge of Trump's thinking told the Washington Post. ‘Bad news? He doesn't care at all. He'll do what he wants to do. He'll deliver on what he promised to do on the campaign trail.’

Gold Finance reports that the US Dollar Index DXY touched 103 upwards, up 1.03% on the day.

Nick Timiraos, the ‘Fed's sounding board’, concludes that Fed Chair Powell is at a key turning point. Powell's statements at key turning points over the years have been as follows: June 2019: Take appropriate action to maintain economic expansion; August 2024: Further weakness in the labour market is undesirable; April 2025: Our obligation is to keep long-term inflation expectations stable.

Fed Governor Waller: The biggest current friction is cross-border payments. Less supportive of Fed's adoption of full digital currency, sees little real-world demand. The push for the Fed's digital dollar has been gradually ignored.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell spoke on the economic outlook, stating: ‘Recently, progress toward our 2 per cent inflation target has slowed. In the 12 months to February, total PCE prices rose 2.5 per cent. Core PCE prices, which exclude the volatile food and energy categories, rose 2.8 per cent.

Looking ahead, higher tariffs will play a role in our economy and could raise inflation in coming quarters. Longer-term inflation expectations (those for the next few years) remain well anchored and consistent with our 2% inflation target by most measures. We remain committed to returning inflation to our 2 per cent target on a sustainable basis.’

Golden Finance reports that Ukrainian President Zelensky has said that a Russian missile has hit an ordinary city, directly hitting a street in a residential area. So far, 14 people have been confirmed dead, including six children. Russia doesn't want a ceasefire, we see that. Zelensky said Turkey could play a ‘very important’ role in providing security for Ukraine, something that has been discussed with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. US tariffs are ‘not a problem’ for Ukraine due to the small volume of trade. The proposed draft of a new mineral agreement between Ukraine and the United States will be ready next week. The United States is ‘close’ to taking steps to pressure Russia to comply with the ceasefire agreement.

If the Trump administration's shockwave of tariffs around the world is also the beginning of a race to reach a trade deal with the United States, British Prime Minister David Starmer thinks he can win, according to the Washington Post. Officials believe a trade deal with Trump that would remove or reduce the 10 per cent tariffs he has imposed on Britain is within reach, possibly within weeks. Starmer is prepared to make major concessions to secure a deal, despite accusations from some critics that he is ‘grovelling to Trump’. The UK has offered to cut tariffs on imported US beef and fish, two sources said. The Starmer government is ready to come up with an even bigger incentive: lowering the taxes paid in the UK by big US tech companies. Britain hopes the concessions will put them in a good position among the dozens of countries eager to strike a new deal with Washington. ‘Every country is calling us,’ Trump said. ‘Now they're willing to do anything for us.’
