The Federal Reserve is poised to cut interest rates on Wednesday for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis to extend the longest economic expansion in US history.The move would come despite a strong US economy. But some cracks are beginning to show: The global economy is softening, American manufacturing is slowing, and the global trade war isn't helping matters.But a potential rate cut would also follow months of pressure from President Donald Trump, who has broken with his predecessors' practice of walling off the central bank from politics.Jerome Powell, the chairman of the world's most influential central bank, has repeatedly pledged to follow economic data, and policymakers have become increasingly worried that uncertainty, caused in part by the President's trade wars with China and other countries, will hamper global growth and dampen investment."We are carefully monitoring these developments and assessing their implications for the US economic outlook and inflation, and will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion," Powell reiterated in remarks delivered at a French government conference in Paris on July 16.Even before the central bank signaled the possibility last month, investors had already priced in a reduction in the federal funds rate, which influences the cost of mortgages, credits cards and other borrowing. Those expectations piled on additional pressure on the Fed to move at this week's meeting to avoid rattling markets with an abrupt change in course.The Fed chairman has brushed off such pressures -- political or otherwise -- arguing the Fed is "insulated" from such demands as an independent institution outside of the control of the White House and whose decisions are informed by incoming economic data.The Fed last raised rates in December but has backed off plans for further tightening.In June, Powell began to make the case that the Fed, like other central banks, around the world needed to act earlier to get ahead of any economic weakness especially given how low interest rates currently are -- a reversal from his previous stance."If you see weakness, it's better to come in earlier rather than later," Powell said at an appearance before the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. "I think most central banks would want to act preemptively and let a downturn gather steam, in a sense, the thought being an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."That message has been echoed by other top officials, including Federal Reserve Bank President William Dudley.Efforts by the Fed to prevent an economic downturn is unlikely to win a reprieve from the White House. A day before policymakers were set to gather for their two-day interest-setting meeting in Washington this week, Trump chastised the Fed for making "all the wrong moves," adding, "a small rate cut is not enough."Trump has kept up a year-long relentless attacks against the Fed, often lamenting he regrets appointing Powell for the role, and going so far as to threaten to fire him. He's called the central bank his "biggest threat" and accused them of behaving like a "stubborn child" for refusing to cut rates and keeping credit too tight.It will be up to Powell during his now-routine press conference to justify the decision to plow ahead with a rate cut given some prevailing strength in the economy. Since their last meeting in June, the data has consistently surprised to the upside with stronger-than-expected job gains, retail sales and economic growth in the second quarter.Wall Street analysts also suggest Friday's upcoming jobs numbers will also be an important economic milestone that will determine whether a further rate hike may be coming as early as September as some anticipate."Expect an overall strong report, eroding the case for further cuts, but given the strong easing bias of Fed leaders, much depends on exactly how strong the report is and how they adjust their messaging in response," Josh Wright, iCIMS' chief economist and former Fed staffer said. "'One and done' still seems like an economically justifiable outcome." 4095

The 7.1 magnitude earthquake that shook California on Friday also ripped open a fissure.When the shaking started at 8:19 p.m., many scrambled for cover. It was the second strong earthquake to hit the area in less than 48 hours.The immediate damage it caused was very clear. Stores had broken bottles and exploded cans littering their floors and other items that had been hanging on walls had toppled over.As the sun rose the next day, it also became clear that the area's topography had changed.Satellite images provided to CNN by Planet Labs, Inc. show a crack has formed in the area close to the epicenter.The large crack extends some distance from an area that apparently held water before. The erosion patterns on the desert sand indicate that some of that water was sucked out.The satellite image isn't the only evidence that the region's topography was changed by the earthquake.A nearby highway is now shutdown after tremors cracked and moved sections of the roadway. 986

The bulk of Barry’s wrath hasn’t even made it onto land yet but the storm has already left tens of thousands without power, knocked down trees and flooded some low-lying coastal areas."Rainfall remains the primary hazard, we are still looking at 10 to 15 inches of rain, with the possibility of isolated higher amounts," Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said.In Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, about 25 miles south of New Orleans, a small levee was breached and led to acres and acres of flooded farm field. But it's not the fields that's the concern. There's a highway that runs nearby. And if this floodwater overflows the highway, it could strand anyone who didn’t evacuate."So the people of southern Plaquemines need to know, they will be stuck down there," said Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser.Nungesser, the former parish president, said the breach has already created problems for farmers."We just rescued cattle out of this pasture, " Nungesser said. "Got them out before they drowned. And those cattlemen are now rescuing other cattle north and south of here."With rainfall forecasts having improving slightly, the lieutenant governor worries less about the Mississippi River topping levees. But given the large amounts of rain, no one should let their guard down— even after the storm."We saw it after Katrina, the storm was well past and then the levees, the flooding came after," Nungesser said. "The skies were sunshining when New Orleans was flooding from Katrina."In New Orleans, local officials are urging a similar message."And although you may not have seen rainfall as we’ve been discussing, it is coming our way," New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said. "So please continue to listen and act accordingly." 1738
