US Attorney Pirro will appeal Judge James Boasberg's ruling that Fed subpoenas were intended to pressure the Federal Reserve to cut its key interest rate, with the judge citing a "mountain of evidence."

The development raises the prospect of politicization of monetary policy and could influence rate expectations, but is unlikely to move markets materially absent further court action or enforcement.
