WSJ op-ed: “Trump Forces a Fed Guessing Game”

Today, The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed by Mickey Levy of the Shadow Open Market Committee (SOMC) member.

Mickey questions whether future rate cuts constitute the right monetary policy, highlighting how lower rates would present a dilemma for the Fed, as:

– Employment will be prioritized over price stability,
– Inflation is now further above its 2% target than it was below target in 2016-19, and
– Tariffs and immigration policy are under-cutting economic growth.

We look forward to any comments you might have.
