Yes, because the economy is so very fragile merely talking about it or even looking at it can send it into a faint.
In a way. The markets move on rumor, and any hint that the Fed is about to raise interest rates send the stock market into a tizzy.
As for Trump and his remarks, what exactly does he want done? He says that the Fed is not raising interest rates in order to keep the stock market up. OK so then does he want the Fed to raise rates? Wouldn't that impact the real estate market and business through higher borrowing costs? Wouldn't that cause a hit to the Trump Organization bottom line since he relies so heavily on debt?
