The latest inflation report shows a 2.7% annual increase in November. The moderate growth will likely encourage the Federal Reserve to continue cutting high interest rates at its meeting next week. The news comes as President Joe Biden touts lower inflation, which peaked at more than 9% during his term in June 2022. On Tuesday, the president defended his economic record and challenged the incoming Trump administration to preserve economic momentum.”It’s laid out a stronger foundation for a sustainable based highly productive growth,” Biden said on his economic legacy. “It’s my profound hope that the new administration builds on this progress.”However, the Trump administration may take on a different economic stance when it comes to business regulations.On Tuesday, President-elect Trump nominated Andrew Ferguson as chair of the Federal Trade Commission.Ferguson previously served as Solicitor General of Virginia and as an antitrust lawyer. He joined the FTC earlier this year.In his announcement, Trump touted Ferguson’s record on opposing big tech companies, suggesting that he may take on a softer approach to big business mergers and consumer protections.The impacts could make a difference on what consumers pay.The country’s two biggest supermarket chains, Albertsons and Kroger, have proposals to merge, but two judges stopped the deal from going through Tuesday night.The current FTC sued, claiming the deal would eliminate market competition, leading to higher prices on groceries and lowering wages for workers. Albertsons and Kroger argue the opposite, saying the merger will help compete against rivals like Walmart, which could mean lower prices for customers.Some experts believe Ferguson will side with the merger and abandon efforts to block the deal.

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday named Andrew Ferguson as the next chair of the Federal Trade Commission.He will replace Lina Khan, who became a lightning rod for Wall Street and Silicon Valley by blocking billions of dollars worth of corporate acquisitions and suing Amazon and Meta while alleging anticompetitive behavior.It was one of several evening announcements Trump made via his social media platform, including that he was naming Kimberly Guilfoyle as Ambassador to Greece, a longtime supporter who was engaged to his son Don Jr., and ally and former inaugural chairman Tom Barrack as Ambassador to Turkey. Ferguson is already one of the FTC’s five commissioners, which is currently made up of three Democrats and two Republicans. “Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship, and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, “Andrew will be the most America First, and pro-innovation FTC Chair in our Country’s History.”The replacement of Khan likely means that the FTC will operate with a lighter touch when it comes to antitrust enforcement. The new chair is expected to appoint new directors of the FTC’s antitrust and consumer protection divisions.”These changes likely will make the FTC more favorable to business than it has been in recent years, though the extent to which is to be determined,” wrote Anthony DiResta, a consumer protection attorney at Holland & Knight, in a recent analysis. Deals that were blocked by the Biden administration could find new life with Trump in command. For example, the new leadership could be more open to a proposed merger between the country’s two biggest supermarket chains, Kroger and Albertsons, which forged a $24.6 billion deal to combine in 2022. Two judges halted the merger Tuesday night.The FTC had filed a lawsuit in federal court earlier this year to block the merger, claiming the deal would eliminate competition, leading to higher prices and lower wages for workers. The two companies say a merger would help them lower prices and compete against bigger rivals like Walmart.One of the judges said the FTC had shown it was likely to prevail in the administrative hearing.Yet given the widespread public concern over high grocery prices, the Trump administration may not fully abandon the FTC’s efforts to block the deal, some experts have said. And the FTC may continue to scrutinize Big Tech firms for any anti-competitive behavior. Many Republican politicians have accused firms such as Meta of censoring conservative views, and some officials in Trump’s orbit, most notably Vice President-elect JD Vance, have previously expressed support for Khan’s scrutiny of Big Tech firms. Barrack, a wealthy financier, met Trump in the 1980s while helping negotiate Trump’s purchase of the renowned Plaza Hotel. He was charged with using his personal access to the former president to secretly promote the interests of the United Arab Emirates but was acquitted of all counts at a federal trial in 2022.Trump called him a “well-respected and experienced voice of reason.”Guilfoyle is a former California prosecutor and television news personality who led the fundraising for Trump’s 2020 campaign. Trump called her “a close friend and ally,” and praised her “sharp intellect make her supremely qualified.” She had been engaged to Don Jr. since 2020, they arrived together at the convention center on election night and she was on stage with the family. “I am so proud of Kimberly. She loves America and she always has wanted to serve the country as an Ambassador. She will be an amazing leader for America First,” Don Jr. posted. Trump also announced Tuesday that he had selected Jacob Helberg as the next undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment, and Dan Bishop as deputy director for budget at the Office of Budget and Management.
