Trump Rarely Warns the Market: Wall Street Fears 'Good Economy May Become Bad News'
In his latest social media post, U.S. President Trump praised the impressive economic data while sounding the alarm about the 'abnormal reactions' in the financial markets.
The latest data released shows that the U.S. GDP growth rate for the third quarter reached 4.2%, far exceeding the market's general expectation of 2.5%. According to common sense, such strong growth should serve as a booster for the stock market, but Trump noticed a phenomenon worth warning about: 'Good news has instead led to a flat or even declining market.' He believes Wall Street is caught in a contradictory mindset — strong economic growth data has instead triggered concerns about inflation pressure and interest rate hikes.
'When the market is doing well, what we should do is lower interest rates, not raise them to suppress it,' Trump clearly expressed his stance on monetary policy. In his view, the inflation issue should naturally ease rather than be artificially suppressed by raising interest rates. This statement has been viewed by outsiders as a public criticism of the Federal Reserve's current policy path.
Notably, Trump made a strong statement in his post, clearly stating that he would never allow dissenters to 'steer the Federal Reserve.' Analysts point out that this indicates the publicization of the divergence between the White House and the Federal Reserve regarding the direction of monetary policy. In Trump's view, the current Federal Reserve is too focused on inflation risks while being insufficiently protective of economic growth.
Market observers pointed out that Trump's remarks reveal a key issue: When signs of an overheating economy begin to appear, should policymakers tighten monetary policy in advance to prevent potential inflation? Or should they allow the economy to maintain rapid growth for a longer period?
This phenomenon of 'good economic data becoming a market concern' reflects the current delicate stage of the U.S. economy — strong growth accompanied by inflation worries, forcing policymakers to find a balance between supporting growth and controlling risks. With the midterm elections approaching, the direction of economic policy not only affects market nerves but could also become an important factor influencing the political landscape. $BTC $ETH $BNB #比特币与黄金战争
