The current Fed rate ranges from 3.5% to 3.75%, and not even his latest appointee - Governor Stephen Miran - advocates for a rate anywhere near that low.Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire for lower mortgage rates, but the interest rate the Fed controls has only limited effect on longer-term borrowing costs. Those are more typically influenced by longer-term rates the Fed has less sway over, such as the 10-year Treasury note yield .That rate is moved by investors' expectations for U.S. economic growth and inflation and on balance has changed little in the last year. Mortgage rates have been stuck in the 6.3%-6.4% range since Labor Day and show little indication of moving lower.Trump told the Wall Street Journal last week that he was leaning toward either Warsh or Hassett as the next head of the U.S. central bank. All the same, interviews continued on Wednesday with a meeting with Waller, one of the early advocates among current Fed policymakers for lower rates but a stalwart defender of Fed independence.Trump told the newspaper that he thought the next Fed chair should consult with him on where to set interest rates. Presidents typically leave rate decision-making up to the Fed.\"Typically, that’s not done anymore. It used to be done routinely. It should be done,\" Trump said. \"It doesn’t mean - I don’t think he should do exactly what we say.
