Recently, Lawrence Summers, the former US Treasury Secretary, issued an alert urging against political forces interfering with the Federal Reserve's monetary policy formulation. He argued that allowing the President or other political figures to directly participate in the decision-making process over a long period would ultimately result in negative effects on the economy. Regarding the Fed's recent policy adjustments, Summers pointed out that, considering the market volatility and stock market declines have already eased since the market turmoil at the weekend, there is not yet a strong case for emergency rate cuts. However, he predicts that the Fed may implement a 50 basis point cut in its September policy meeting to address potential economic risks.
