Profits come with volatility but also with predictable economic and monetary policy. Traders fixed on Trump’s promises to stimulate the economy and guessed that more economic activity would threaten inflation. And then the Fed would move in and raise interest rates thus pushing up the value of the dollar. As we mentioned in our last article, there is a difference in economic hope versus reality. To the extent that optimism spurs investment we will see an economic boom, a self-fulfilling prophecy. To the extent that the administration gets off track and does things like starting a trade war the difference between economic hope and reality could be huge. The new twitter of account, @RoguePOTUSStaff, is allegedly fed by disgruntled White House staffers who paint a picture of dysfunction and distrust around a man who wants to be remembered as king instead of president. Traders see that and they get scared. It should therefore be no great surprise that the dollar is its lowest in eleven weeks. Of course the Fed met and decided not to raise interest rates for now and give now guidance on exactly when that might happen. Bloomberg discusses the dollar and Trump anxiety. A gauge of the dollar dropped to the lowest level in 11 weeks and Treasury yields declined after the Federal Reserve signaled it’s in no hurry to raise interest rates.
