SYDNEY (Reuters) - A hush settled over financial markets on Wednesday as investors waited to hear how often the Federal Reserve might hike U.S. rates this year, while the currencies of exporting nations were rattled by fears of a full-blown trade war.

The dollar is too internationally high, so we’re continuing to suck in foreign products too much. Show us more balanced trade, then raise the rate. And stop showing us false stats about trade with Soviet Canuckia.

The Fed is really pissing me off.

We’ve been in a bad place for a decade. Now things are finally going in a good direction, and at once they pounce on Trump’s economy.

It’s infuriating!

I know it sounds unlikely but I think Trump will end the fed before he leaves office.
