Ben chabot(@chabot_ben):Is this 4-deminsional chess?... Trump says cut rates --> fed raises rates instead--> enhances market belief in Fed independence --> bond market is relieved and lowers term premium and inflation expectations --> and Fed requires fewer rate hikes than they would otherwise need and financial conditions ease Or Blind rage at an independent agency? it's a Rorschach Test!
