Right before another president ial election. The big worry is uncertainty about trade. The u. S. Is threatening to ramp up tariffs on china, and it isnt clear when it will stop. Corporate executives say the uncertainty is making them less inclined to make new investments until the coast clears. Meantime, economies in the rest of the world are slowing. Now, in times of trouble the Federal Reserve usually cuts Interest Rates to make it cheaper for businesses and households to borrow, invest and spend.

Shes janet yellen who served as chair of the fed from 2014 to 2018 and is currently a distinguished fellow in residence at the washington, d. C. Think tank, the brookings institution. Chair yellen, thanks so muc
