1. Federal Reserve faces criticism over $2.5 billion expansion project. 2. Cost overruns have sparked accusations of fiscal mismanagement. 3. Inspector general reviews the project following White House backlash. 4. Renovation aims to address safety issues and modernization needs. 5.

Criticism of Federal Reserve spending does not directly affect market fundamentals. Historically, such controversies have had limited long-term impacts on market performance.

The project’s issues are politically charged and unlikely to affect Fed policy immediately. Similar criticisms in the past have not led to swift market reactions.
