The Fed holds, but markets brace for Trump's push for lower rates

 

January 29, 2025 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a go-to platform for big investing ideas releases market commentary from Nigel Green, CEO of global financial giant deVere Group, among other experts.

The Fed holds, but markets brace for Trump's push for lower rates

The Federal Open Market Committee has maintained its policy rate in the target range of 4.25%-4.5%, a move predicted last year by Nigel Green, CEO of global financial giant deVere Group, among other experts.

Yet, despite the Fed's decision to hold rates steady, markets are facing uncertainty as President Donald Trump begins his second term, with expectations that he will advocate for lower interest rates.

"Trump's return to the White House raises concerns over economic stability, with expectations that the administration will push for more accommodative monetary policy," says Nigel Green.

"However, such moves could exacerbate inflationary pressures rather than provide sustainable economic growth. His administration is also weighing policies such as new potential tariffs and mass deportations-both of which have the potential to drive inflation higher and create broader economic disruption."

He continues: "The Fed's decision to hold rates was expected, but the real story here is the renewed tension between the White House and the central bank," said Nigel Green.

"His administration has already signaled its preference for lower interest rates, but that does not mean the Fed will-or should-comply without considering the economic consequences.

"Policies such as tariffs and mass deportations could further complicate the inflation outlook and force the central bank into a defensive stance."

deVere Group remains cautious about the broader economic trajectory.

"The economic landscape is fraught with risk, and while fiscal stimulus may boost short-term growth, the long-term effects could be far more destabilizing," added Green.

"Investors need to be aware that history has shown us how excessive government intervention can be a masterclass in the law of unintended consequences, particularly when it involves trade restrictions and labor market disruptions."

Trump's unconventional approach to economic policy has previously led to volatility, and this trend looks set to continue. Investors are weighing potential fiscal stimulus measures against the risks of inflation and geopolitical instability.

With the battle lines drawn between the White House and the Federal Reserve, deVere Group is advising clients to remain vigilant.

"Investors should be reassessing their portfolios with a focus on hedging against potential economic turbulence," Nigel Green notes.

"The Fed may be hesitant now, but its independence remains crucial in preventing an overheating economy."

Instead of betting on immediate policy shifts, investors should recognize that markets thrive on stability, not unpredictability.

"The coming months will test the resilience of the economy, and those who take a measured approach to risk management will be best prepared for what lies ahead," he concludes.
