Bridgewater: Trump may prefer a Fed chairman who is more tolerant of inflation
Bob Prince, chief investment officer of Bridgewater Associates, said at the third annual Global Financial Leaders Investment Summit in Hong Kong on Wednesday that President-elect Trumps policies on tariffs, fiscal stimulus and immigration may prevent the United States from achieving its 2% inflation target. If the U.S. inflation rate is still close to 3% in about a year and a half, Trump may be inclined to nominate a candidate for the Federal Reserve chairman who is willing to comply with a higher inflation target, which will allow him to cut interest rates. He added, People are looking forward to rate cuts. But if inflation remains unchanged, then it may not be possible to cut interest rates. I think the situation will be interesting in 18 months, when the current Federal Reserve Chairman Powells term will end. (Jinshi)
