The US President, Trump, claimed that the Fed Slashed them down badly in terms of economic growth, as there’s no inflation.

Trump showed the reports claiming – US firms added 196,000 jobs last month, compared to 33,000 in February.

“I think the Fed must drop the rates down and loosen it quantitatively. You would see a rocket ship”, said Mr.Trump.

The Fed has continuously been raising the interest rates- four times since Jerome Powell stepped as chairman in February last year.

Although, Mr. Powell was appointed by Mr. Trump the US President has often criticized the Fed chairman for increasing rates.

As per The Wall Street Journal report, earlier this week Mr. Trump told Mr. Powell in a recent phone call: “I guess I’m stuck with you”.

Further twice an increase in the interest rate by the Fed is forecasted.

However, Fed replied saying, now we are taking a “patient approach” to interest rates.

Mr. Trump about the next Fed Chairman nominations Also, Mr. Trump, earlier this week said, that he would nominate the former boss of Godfather’s Pizza to the Fed’s board of governors.

The 73-old-year, Herman Cain, is a former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

Apart from Mr. Herman Cain, Mr. Trump also plans to nominate Stephen Moore, who advised the president during his election campaign, to join the Fed’s board of governors.

Analysis of the President’s choices picks of Herman Cain and Stephen Moore to the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors shows that Mr.Trump is politicizing America’s central bank.

Well, their candidacy holds for a shift from the president’s first few nominees to America’s central bank. The duo were more traditional candidates and was more or less greeted with bipartisan approval.

Still, Cain and Moore appear to have been picked mostly for their loyalty rather than their experience with the President and have therefore provoked a great deal of political criticism.

As, Donald Trump openly has been critical of recent Fed policy, heckling Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on Twitter. Mr. Trump’s only concern with the Fed is to lower interest rates and ease quantitative tightening.

About the candidates’ Economist, Stephen Moore openly has been critical of the Fed.

While Cain, the former boss of Godfather’s Pizza, who also has worked at the Kansas City Federal Reserve often stated his anachronistic view that the US should return to the gold standard.

If their nominations pass well, they would be in a position to promote his view that the economy can grow much faster without overheating.

But for investors, it might raise fear about the independence of America’s central bank.JobsAnalysts have been expecting a growth in the new jobs somewhere ranging from 170,000 and 180,000 roles, while the earnings data showed that the annual rate of wage would be slowed down from 3.4% in February to 3.2% in March.

However, these data won’t change anyone’s thoughts about whether would the Fed ultimately will have to hike this year.

Although the payroll gain is welcome, one month isn’t sufficient to prove whether will the trend remains close to 200,000, and doves will point to the modest average hourly earnings gain as a piece of evidence that the Fed’s ‘patient’ stance is justified.

It was a “mixed report” with highlights including an upwards revision to the 20,000 new jobs initially reported in February.

But the factor of disappointment here is  “The average hourly earnings”.

To be more precise with the report:

The unemployment rate remained at 3.8% for the second consecutive month.

The healthcare sector experiences jobs rise, but both the retail and manufacturing sectors saw declines.

Also, around 6,000 jobs were lost in manufacturing, the first decline in the sector was in July 2017.

Many car companies are in the notch of cutting thousands of jobs, which includes General Motors -cutting about 14,000 workers.

The committee’s monthly choices on interest rates eventually prove how far our cash travels. Still, it appears like something like the individuals whose lives they want to influence maximum.

In fact, current governor Mark Carney is that the one hundred and twentieth in an exceedingly continuous line of white men to own headed the Bank.

Women comprise half the united kingdom population, however simply ninth of the Financial Policy Committee. There’s conjointly not one black, Asian or minority group (BAME) member. It’s obvious the Bank includes a diversity downside.

The general public Accounts Committee (PAC), in the last month, was way off its diversity targets for next year with very limited proof the gap is closing immediately rather.

The Bank selected 2 women: Banking Standards Board chair Dame Sidonie-Gabrielle Claudine Colette Bowe and former Virgin cash boss Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia in a Gregorian calendar month, to its Monetary Policy Committee.

The Bank’s chief in operation officer Joanna Place conjointly said:

We’ve got done heaps quite simply gender and quality, in terms of diversity and inclusion. and we have a variety of workers networks. we’ve got inclusive events. Also, we’ve got an upbeat strategy. we’ve got done a psychical trait diversity survey. we’ve got started to examine the societal aspect.

Many hope that the Bank’s hunt for a replacement governor – that began earlier in the week – might herald the beginning of a replacement era with a feminine governor at the helm for the primary time in its history.

Labour MP Rachel Reeves [chairs the business board and who was a social explorer at the Bank of European nation before turning into an official]: 

He says its high time now for the Bank to act.

Well, we have witnessed two women prime ministers but don’t hold any ladies chancellors or Bank governors.  “The miserable fact is that the Bank has not done adequate recruitment, train and raise gifted ladies. Thus much more to be inline to lead generation ahead, to foster women economists who can hold the powerful statuses”.

Rejuvenating..

Wendy Carlin [professor of social science at University faculty London], says:

Further, the concern isn’t with the Bank of England. As when you Google “economists” by default you’ll get a large class of pictures of economists in groups, who operate the monetary chart. Such a responsive unit is rejuvenating. If peoples totally see men in suits that don’t affect them.

Prof Carlin is leading a world project [the CORE project] to reconstruct the process social science is tutored, with the purpose of widening its appeal.

We’re signifying abundantly that social science is acting to address the issues, which we are to meet. Furthermore, treating monetary stability yet it is too concerning inequality, work, and future environmental factors.

Dr. Margaret Heffernan [ Author & the former chief government of 5 businesses] says:

The limited number of girls in the sector is a concern. Taking it as an opportunity in this profession, women are somewhere been dominated by men.

As per a recent survey by the yank Economic Association of quite nine- 200 economists advise concerning the rooted issues.

“A certain group of feminine economists who felt discriminated against, compared with twelve-tone music of men. While women felt they have been treated unequally while choosing the candidates for financing and promotion related jobs”.

It should be noted that these reports are preliminary in nature and will be revised in the days to come- possibly over the next month. That should mean the initial estimates may still hold some water. What we mean by that is economist are not yet ready to buy the truth in the reports and consider the report is a little exaggerated as things stand as of now. They still foresee a downfall over the next couple of months.

Negative clouds being prevalent, the situation, however, looks impressive enough. The job market is still stronger enough, and the consumers market also appears to be confident. These positive traits should ideally help the policy-makers to set the fears of recession aside.

The anger that the people had seems to have subsided to a considerable extent, and the economy appears to be heading back to normalcy.

What does this mean for The Administration?

Well, for Washington, this may be good news. During the latter part of the last year, the situation was not impressive for the Trump administration. The growth did slow down, there was a huge trade deficit, and the stock market had experienced a huge plunge downward.

The conditions seem to be improving these days. The trade deficits have been experiencing narrowing trends, the stock market is finding itself being slightly renewed, and now the good news about the GDP can be something that the trump administration will find a saving grace. There have been signs of the recovery of the job market as well.

“We’re knocking it out of the park,” that is what Trump told the reporters on Friday morning to the reporters. But, you cannot expect the improvements in terms of policy-making as such.  The policymakers are most likely to consider the first quarter results and the reports to be much temporary.

The future holds anything good?

Well, it may not be. The trends in the first quarter may or may not be truly rewarding. They may as well reverse in the second quarter.

The month ahead is likely to witness a dip in the overall GDP. The global trade is considerably weaker and can have a serious effect on the GDP. The analysts expect net trade to grow further ahead. However, consumer spending has been one of the strongest points and has been likely to improve recovery. While the spending had tumbled in December and January, it is recovering in the quarter and has been raising hopes.

The analysts are keeping a close watch on the world scenario. They are hoping to find a good surge in the consumer spends in the upcoming months. As Joe Brusuelas, chief economist for RSM candidly puts it, “We had a near miss on a recession, but we didn’t have one last year, We won’t have one this year. I think this is a good place for the economy to be.”

There are expectations of slow growth this year as a result of tax cuts and government spending increases. However, there is not much havoc in the minds as had been a few months ago. That should point to a better direction.

Net income in the first quarter was reported to be  $1.1 billion, this contradicts the $848 million that was expected according to a Reuters poll of analysts. The Swiss bank cited challenging market conditions as their profit falls by 27% in comparison to the last year before. The company’s chief executive officer, Sergio Ermotti in an interview with CNBC on Thursday admitted to it being a “very challenging quarter” for the bank.

He did however also say he was pleased with the resilience that the results show irrespective of the clear fall.  The current figures are all in comparison to the first quarter of 2018 where the bank’s wealth management division as well as their investment unit considerably greater profits in comparison to this quarter.

Here are some major milestones and landmark events of the first quarter:

• Operating income of $8.2 Billion a year ago in comparison to $7.2 Billion this quarter.
• A return on tangibility equity of 13.5% last year which has fallen to 9.8% now.
• Common equity capital ratio has fallen by 0.1% to 13% from 13.1% last year.

The banks operating income in investment banking fell from $619 million in 2018 to $221 this quarter. UBS blamed this loss on unfavorable trading environments mainly in Asia and Europe.

The bank does, however, expect economic growth and stronger performance in the market which will help them recover in the coming months despite their bad start in 2019.

The bank released a statement where they say. “We are likely to benefit from this environment. Higher invested assets are expected to lead to an increase in recurring revenues in Global Wealth Management and Asset Management, compared with the first quarter of 2019,”.

In an exclusive interview to CNBC Ermotti confirmed that the bank aims to repurchase up to $1 billion as previously announced in 2018.
