#Trump Policies Could Lead to Fed Rate Hikes#

Trump's policies could lead to interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, as his tariffs and immigration proposals could exacerbate inflation. Analyst Tim Murray believes this would force the Fed to stop cutting rates or even raise them, leading to significant market volatility. His analysis points out that the energy and financial sectors could benefit from a more friendly regulatory environment, while renewable energy companies may face pressure from the repeal of parts of the Inflation Reduction Act. Furthermore, Trump's aggressive trade policies could affect non-US stocks, leading to volatility in affected industries. Although the 10-year US Treasury yield has slightly declined, the market consensus is that Trump's policies will have a significant impact on the Fed's monetary policy, potentially leading to rate hikes.
