US: Trump Speech Covers Familiar Ground, Little Fresh Details On Trade Deals
Apr-29 23:56
US President Trump has spoken at a rally in Michigan, which marks his first 100 days in office. The speech was big on rhetoric, but policy related areas of interest for the market remained light.
- On monetary policy, Trump reiterated progress around lower food and energy inflation and that lower interest rates are good. He added he knows more about interest rates than Fed Chair Powell does.
- He also stated that tax cuts will be passed in the coming weeks/months.
- On trade/tariffs, he noted he had given flexibility for the auto sector (which appears to reflect recently announced shifts), but stated that auto-makers will be slaughtered if they don't onshore production.
- On trade deals he stated that officials from India, France and China are coming to make deals, but didn't provide any more details than that. He added that if negotiations take too long then the US will set the tariff rate.
- He also emphasized the previously announced investment pledges that tech companies have agreed to.
