#TrumpVsPowell Trump and Powell have clashed over monetary policy. Trump favored low interest rates to spur growth, while Powell focused on controlling inflation and ensuring long-term stability. Trump’s preference for quick economic expansion often conflicted with Powell’s more cautious approach. If Trump returns to office, he may try to influence Fed policy. For investors, Trump's policies tend to boost risk assets, while Powell’s inflation-focused stance could lead to higher rates and more market volatility.
