Markets in Asia and Europe have increased largely this morning, while S&P Futures has dropped around 0.7%, and established the United States index for a second day of loss after a nine -day winning streak, as investors are nervously waiting for the FED’s interest decision, and the reaction of President Donald Trump.
Wall Street is almost certain that the Fed will maintain constant interest rates in the range of 4.25-4.50%, but analysts expect Trump to succeed their attacks on the Fed chair, Jerome Powell, so as not to lower rates.
“The attacks on Powell are going to climb a lot”, he said During a CNBC interview Monday. “Trump, I think, will increase the climb.”
Any climb could scare the Skittish investors, says the chief economist in Parthenon, Gregory Daco.
“We even cover the perception of political influence on monetary policy could highlight markets,” he wrote in a note. “A sustained loss of confidence in the FED’s autonomy risks inflation expectations, raising long -term returns, increasing debt service costs, and damaging dollar assets.”
The fact that markets may begin to take into account the uncertainty about the FED leadership future can be seen in the recent increase in the risk of north -American assets, Daco wrote.
Despite the concerns of the Fed leadership, investors can achieve the resilience of the world economy, so far. “The data sends a simple message that global growth is still solid,” writes Bruce Kasman and his team at Jpmorgan chase. “Despite a noisy stop in the United States, global GDP grew up to 2.4%tending to 1T25. Available April readings show an impulse as we become the current quarter.”
