Bridgewater: Trump may lean towards a Federal Reserve chairperson candidate more tolerant of inflation.
Bob Prince, Chief Investment Officer of Bridgewater Associates, stated at the third annual Global Financial Leaders Investment Summit held in Hong Kong on Wednesday that the policies of President-elect Trump on tariffs, fiscal stimulus, and immigration may prevent the U.S. from achieving a 2% inflation target. If the U.S. inflation rate remains close to 3% about a year and a half later, Trump may lean towards nominating a Federal Reserve chairperson who is willing to accommodate a higher inflation target, which would allow him to cut interest rates. He added, 'People are looking forward to rate cuts. But if inflation remains unchanged, it may not be possible to cut rates. I think the situation in 18 months will be very interesting, as the current Federal Reserve Chair Powell's term will end.' (Jin Shi)
