TREE NEWS update: US President Donald Trump, in a post on Truth Social, rejected the notion that economic growth fuels inflation, arguing that stocks fell despite strong jobs data due to lingering inflation fears. He called for the US to sustain the world’s lowest interest rates, claiming each 1% rate hike costs the country $650 billion annually, and advocated for GDP growth of 15-20%.
Trump says growth won’t cause inflation, backs global low rates
This signals a direct policy posture clash with the Fed's current stance, framing rate cuts as a fiscal necessity rather than a response to weakening data. The claim that growth is disinflationary challenges a core tenet of monetary tightening, which may influence market pricing of future Fed moves. For global markets, the push for low US rates could pressure the dollar and reshape yield differentials, but the credibility of the 15-20% GDP target remains the key tension. Watch whether this rhetoric translates into actual pressure on the Fed or remains political commentary.
