Fed officials are worried about the inflation impacts from Trump’s policies, minutes show

[berg80]

Federal Reserve officials at their December meeting expressed concern about inflation and the impact that President-elect Donald Trump’s policies could have, indicating that they would be moving more slowly on interest rate cuts because of the uncertainty, minutes released Wednesday showed.

Without calling out Trump by name, the meeting summary featured at least four mentions about the effect that changes in immigration and trade policy could have on the U.S. economy.

Since Trump’s November election victory, he has signaled plans for aggressive, punitive tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada as well as the other U.S. trading partners. In addition, he intends to pursue more deregulation and mass deportations.

However, the extent of what Trump’s actions will be and specifically how they will be directed creates a band of ambiguity about what is ahead, which Federal Open Market Committee members said would require caution.

The outcome of tariff threats is difficult to predict since Cheeto is so erratic. Financial markets hate that.

It's ALWAYS Trumps fault, right berg?

Feds are probably worried about their employment

Countries and markets have to look ahead and are forced to consider Trump's latest threats (the only way he knows how to "negotiate" at his intellectual level).

I've heard some of Trump's people starting use "targeted" in reference to the tariffs, backing off somewhat. Trump has denied that, but obviously he's a liar.

None of this matters until something actually happens. It's a shame that our former allies have to put energy into his bullying tactics, though.

Well, if the FED says so….

Holy shit, man.

No, they’re worried about the potential economic impact of the contradictory promises that your beloved has bellowed about.

Since Trump can’t be trusted, or relied on to know what he is doing, caution is the sensible course of action.

The economy is healthy, unemployment is low, interest rates have begun to fall.

However Trump’s idiotic tarriffs, his threats of new trade wars, his worthless claims about spending raise concerns all through banks around the world.

The federal reserve was afraid of Trump in 2016 as well... and they were wrong... Trump gave us the best economy of my lifetime... these pin heads think they know it all but if they did we wouldn't be living like we are not living in the wealthiest nation on earth....

Translation....: Neo-Marxist Democrats worried silly that Trump will repair all the damage done by Democrats and their Dementia riddled puppet Biden.

Imagine voting for low IQ Biden, then lower IQ Harris, and attacking someone else [Trump's] intellectual level. How dumb is that poster? Oh, yeah.

The thing is--- the more they make out Trump as an idiot, the greater the insult to themselves.
What is their point in claiming they got their clocks cleaned by a complete idiot?
The logic escapes me how that's supposed to make them feel better.

That’s because Trump didn’t do the dumb shit he’s talking about doing now. Why was it the “best economy”? Because he left it alone.

Deporting all illegals? Inflationary. Baseline tariffs? Inflationary.

That’s why 10 year treasury yields are high and that’s why mortgage rates won’t go down.

Dummy it's about proposed policies, not something that already happened that could be someone's fault.

The 20-year yield, a laggard on the US government debt curve since its re-introduction in 2020, topped 5% Wednesday for the first time since 2023. The move, fueled in part by concern that President-elect Donald Trump’s policies will rekindle price pressures and lead to wider deficits, indicates what’s potentially next in the $28 trillion Treasury market.

The 30-year yield topped 4.96%, while the 10-year rose as much as four basis points to nearly 4.73% — just shy of its highest level since November 2023. The moves echoed the run-up in yields seen in the UK and across emerging markets.

“The US market is having an outsized effect as investors grapple with sticky inflation, robust growth and the hyper-uncertainty of incoming President Trump’s agenda,” said James Athey, a portfolio manager at Marlborough Investment Management.

Too funny. How much spending did Biden and the Dems do?


Wasting trillions of dollars on money that has shown no results (EV charging stations yet to be built, electric buses, high speed Internet, etc.).

The CRFB states the Biden Administration increased the federal deficit by just $4.3 trillion. In reality, the Biden Administration has increased the federal deficit by $11.6 trillion dollars throughout the last three years and six months, including:

• $4.8 trillion in enacted legislation;
• $4.8 trillion in higher interest costs; and,
• $2 trillion by executive actions

What CRFB Got Wrong on President Biden:


CLAIM: President Biden’s executive actions have added just $1.2 trillion to ten-year debt.


FACT: Since taking office, President Biden has proposed and implemented executive actions that have cost taxpayers over $2 trillion.​

You may be correct, not going to try and dissuade the debate. But what EVERYONE KNOWS IS------------>Biden wasn't running anything; and to throw out the people who were, we had to elect Trump. THAT IS ON YOU! Congrats derBERGhoff, by your absolute incompetence, you created your own nightmare!
