Trump may seek accommodating Fed chair amid rising inflation concerns
Bridgewater Associates Co-Chief Investment Officer Bob Prince indicated that President-elect Donald Trump"s policies could lead the U.S. to miss its 2% inflation target, potentially pushing inflation closer to 3% in 18 months. This scenario may prompt Trump to nominate a more accommodating Federal Reserve chairman to facilitate interest rate cuts, as current Chair Jerome Powell"s term expires. Prince"s comments align with warnings from other investors about rising inflation under a second Trump presidency, driven by pro-business and pro-growth initiatives.
