Do financial markets factor in a risk premium associated with Trump?
Do Markets Really Ignore Trump?
Recent market trends have led some to believe that investors are unfazed by Trump’s actions. However, I disagree with this view. While we haven’t witnessed dramatic shifts in asset prices that would suggest significant risk premiums are being factored in, expecting such extreme reactions may not be realistic. For instance, Trump’s most recent criticism of the Federal Reserve has been interpreted in various ways. Some of the people I spoke with yesterday pointed to resistance from Republican lawmakers as evidence that the system of checks and balances in the US remains effective. My intention isn’t to judge whether this perspective is correct, but rather to highlight the complexity of the situation.
