Trump criticizes the Federal Reserve for its handling of interest rates, calling them "way too high"
Jan 08, 2025 at 03:35 am
President Donald Trump criticized the Federal Reserve for its handling of interest rates, calling them "way too high" during a fiery news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
President Donald Trump kritiserade Federal Reserve för dess hantering av räntorna och kallade dem "alldeles för höga" under en eldig presskonferens på hans egendom i Mar-a-Lago.
President Donald Trump criticized the Federal Reserve for its handling of interest rates, calling them "way too high" during a fiery news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Han anklagade den avgående Biden-administrationen för att ha lämnat efter sig en "ekonomisk röra", och pekade på ihållande inflation och Feds aggressiva penningpolitik som de viktigaste bovarna.
He blamed the outgoing Biden administration for leaving behind an "economic mess," pointing to persistent inflation and the Fed's aggressive monetary policy as the main culprits.
"Vi ärver en svår situation", sa Trump. "Inflationen rasar fortfarande och räntorna är alldeles för höga. De försöker göra det ännu svårare för oss att fixa det här.”
"We are inheriting a difficult situation," Trump said. "Inflation is still skyrocketing and interest rates are way too high. They're trying to make it even harder for us to fix this."
Detta förstärker bara våra förväntningar på en sammandrabbning med Fed-ordförande Jerome Powell, vars räntepolitik har drivit upp lånekostnaderna till de högsta nivåerna på decennier.
This only reinforces our expectations for a showdown with Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, whose interest rate policies have pushed borrowing costs to the highest levels in decades.
Inflationen svalnar, men lånekostnaderna svider fortfarande
Inflation is cooling, but borrowing costs still sting
Federal Reserve höjde räntorna till den högsta på 20 år mellan mars 2022 och juli 2023 när inflationen höjde till en topp på 9,1 % i juni 2022. Medan Fed lyckades få ner inflationen till 2,7 % jämfört med föregående år i november 2024 , det är fortfarande över centralbankens mål på 2 %.
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to a 20-year high between March 2022 and July 2023 as inflation rose to a peak of 9.1% in June 2022. While the Fed managed to bring inflation down to 2.7% year-on-year in November 2024, it is still above the central bank's target of 2%.
Samtidigt brottas amerikaner med konsekvenserna av dessa vandringar. Bolåneräntorna har stigit över 8%, medan den 10-åriga statsräntan har stigit till 4,7%. Detta har fått många att undra om Fed har tappat kontrollen över sin spelbok.
At the same time, Americans are grappling with the consequences of these migrations. Mortgage rates have risen above 8%, while the 10-year Treasury yield has risen to 4.7%. This has led many to wonder if the Fed has lost control of its playbook.
Historiskt sett tenderar räntorna att sjunka under en Fed-räntesänkningscykel. Ändå, sedan centralbanken började sänka räntorna i september 2024, har de långa räntorna rört sig i motsatt riktning och klättrat dent 110 räntepunkter utan motstycke.
Historically, interest rates tend to fall during a Fed rate cut cycle. Yet, since the central bank began cutting rates in September 2024, long-term yields have moved in the opposite direction, climbing an unprecedented 110 basis points.
Analytiker kallar detta ett "marknadsuppror", där investerare i huvudsak utmanar Fed:s förmåga att kontrollera inflationen utan att utlösa en bredare ekonomisk smärta.
Analysts call this a "market revolt," with investors essentially challenging the Fed's ability to control inflation without triggering broader economic pain.
För låntagarna är situationen dyster. Treasury auktioner denna vecka understryker aptiten för skuld: 58 miljarder dollar i treårssedlar började säljas på måndagen, följt av 39 miljarder dollar i återöppnade 10-årslån på tisdagen - den största sedan 2007.
For the borrowers, the situation is bleak. Treasury auctions this week underscore the appetite for debt: $58 billion in three-year notes went on sale on Monday, followed by $39 billion in reopened 10-year notes on Tuesday — the largest since 2007.
Ytterligare 22 miljarder dollar i 30-åriga obligationer kommer att följa. Företag skyndar sig också för att säkra finansiering innan marknadsförhållandena förvärras, och drar fördel av smala kreditspreadar och hög efterfrågan från investerare.
Another $22 billion in 30-year bonds will follow. Companies are also rushing to secure financing before market conditions worsen, taking advantage of narrow credit spreads and high investor demand.
Trots dessa utmanringar har Trump sedan dess gjort det klart att han inte planerar att sparka Powell, som han beskrev som "politisk" under sin kampanj. Powells mandatperiod slutar inte förrän 2026, och han har offentligt sagt att han inte kommer att avgå även om Trump ber om.
Despite those challenges, Trump has since made it clear that he has no plans to fire Powell, who he described as "political" during his campaign. Powell's term does not end until 2026, and he has publicly said he will not resign even if Trump asks.
"Jag tjänade mycket pengar, så jag borde åtminstone ha något att säga till om i penningpolitiken", tror Trump.
"I made a lot of money, so I should at least have a say in monetary policy," Trump believes.

Medan vanliga amerikaner känner en nypa av stigande räntor, cash medlemmar av kongressen på. Lagstiftares aktiehandel överträffade S&P 500 2024, med demokrater som fick i genomsnitt 31 % och republikaner med 26 % uppgångar.
While ordinary Americans feel the pinch of rising interest rates, members of Congress cash in. Legislators' stock trading outperformed the S&P 500 in 2024, with Democrats averaging 31% gains and Republicans 26% gains.
För sammanhanget steg S&P 500 med 24 % under samma period, vilket lämnade privatinvesterare i dammet. Enligt JPMorgan-data såg den genomsnittliga privatinvesteraren en avkastning på bara 3,7 % förra året, med många som avslutade året i minus.
For context, the S&P 500 rose 24% over the same period, leaving retail investors in the dust. According to JPMorgan data, the average retail investor saw a return of just 3.7% last year, with many ending the year in the red.
Minst fem kongressledamöter noterade vinster som översteg 100 %, och Nancy Pelosis portfölj ökade med 71 % tack vare tunga investeringar i tekniska aktier. Samtidigt kämpade hedgefonder för att hänga med, med endast två stora fonder – DE Shaw (+36,1 %) och Bridgewater China (+35 %) – som gick bättre än kongressen.
At least five members of Congress posted gains that exceeded 100%, and Nancy Pelosi's portfolio increased by 71% thanks to heavy investments in tech stocks. Meanwhile, hedge funds struggled to keep up, with only two major funds – DE Shaw (+36.1%) and Bridgewater China (+35%) – outperforming Congress.
