Trump: CPI just out. Great numbers! Fed should lower one full point.

TACO TACO

Yes they should, there is no reason rates should be as high as they are currently. Inflation is dead and employment is high and stable. Let it rip jerome

Inflation isn't dead...just because the price of an item goes up at a slower pace than what it use to, doesn't mean you are paying less or the same. You're still paying more, thus inflation.

"Tariffs have no effect on inflation"
The tariff only were only implemented in April the effect will lag, it'll take 2 quarters to see inflation from them.

If the countries previously trading partners of USA deny to make a deal and move to another trading partners, the tariffs will have devastating effect on the inflation in USA. Stocks will go up while the demand for USD will go dramatically down.

The best scenario for USA will be mutual deal on a higher tariffs than what is currently used. In such case the demand for USD will jump over the moon as most of the trade is being done with US Dollar. It looks like Trump is unable to understand that this is exactly what will make America rich. Instead of seeking low rates and a weak dollar, he should work on trade deals with other countries and when the deal is done then keep the dollar strong and harvest money for USA from tariffs.

There you go !

At least he was honest .

The market has baked in a 100% chance of no cut in June (99.9% hold, 0.1% of hike ..someone was taking a flyer!)

Not that the administration understands this (though, it is more likely the FULLY understanding it but know their constituents do not, but ANY cut, let alone a full point would throw the markets into massive turmoil as money attempted to readjust to what was given a 0% chance of happening. Up/down? No way to know....but EVERYONE would be wrong from a market perspective, and that is never a good thing.

The FED has followed the market expectations on cuts recently. Maybe it is the market leading the FED, maybe it is the FED rhetoric leading the market ? Whatever the case, prior cuts have come when the market had them priced in. June? Not so much.

All of the political jawboning simply serves to offer scapegoats (other than the administration) should there be any negative economic activity.......and, on the other side of the coin, gives the administration the ability to say "now just think if you had done this earlier" if things continue to progress nicely and cuts come in a slower fashion.

Not a bad play politically (uhg, the energy wasted on "games"). People (the general population) are not knowledgeable enough to understand how tumultuous it would be to shock the system by initiating cuts before the markets are ready and waiting them.

lol Americans pay for rhe tarrifs on china, not the Chinese. More tarrifs makes America poor not rich . How do you still not know that?

Ah... that must be so hard to understand for the people that haven't thinked critically from the moment they were born...

History will record that a US president who talked a lot but did not work to improve us economic growth = trump

trade tariff policy becomes a very weak point to increase economic growth.....

Is he elected for the presidency or for the FED chair?

Trump should work on how to increase good economic growth so that the US does not go bankrupt.

Trump's main program: Trade war by increasing trade tariffs shows that Trump is unable to work. By expecting a tariff increase that tends to be forced, Trump is indirectly begging and asking for pity.

Trump must reduce the coercive methods in the tariff war, because what he is facing is a country that has many governments, dignity and sovereignty as a nation and has people. Trump is not leading a company that is only oriented towards profit. As President of the US, Trump should be wiser so as not to cause friction that could trigger a world war.

How to lower USD interest rates when CPI is still unstable and labor data is also worrying.... Trump has run away from the corridor

Americans particularly GOP, US Congress, Senate, Department of Justice, FBI, CIA and US judges need act urgently for the interest of the US and the World, to restrict and/or remove this crap guy from power and chair sooner than later. He alone is good enough to destroy the US, its prospect, and the trust the US built for many decades and century.

He is desperate to refinance all the S__T deals on his properties before the trump organization defaults on loans.

There is no inflation. Tariff has no effect on inflation, Trump should stick with 145% on China , make America rich
