Annmarie Hordern: Trump questions need for further U.S. interest rate hikes
Trump questions further U.S. rate hikes

Annmarie Hordern reports that U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed concerns about market reactions to positive economic data, suggesting that strong reports now often lead to declines because investors fear higher interest rates. Trump, in an interview set to air on NBC’s Meet the Press, stated that there is no reason to raise interest rates.

Hordern recently reported that traders have fully priced in a Federal Reserve quarter-point rate hike by December. In a separate piece, she detailed filings showing that ten officials, including Steve Witkoff and Kelly Loeffler, reported financial interests in Elon Musk’s rocket company or xAI. These developments reflect ongoing attention to interest rate policy and financial disclosures by key figures.
