Part two of Trump's interview with the CNBC is being released now
- The economy is as good as it's ever been
- Don't agree with Powell's decision to raise interest rates
- "Not thrilled" and "not happy" that Fed is raising rates
- Ready to put tariffs on all $505 billion of Chinese imported goods
- Tariffs on China isn't politically motivated
- "I'm doing this to do the right things for our country"
- "We have been ripped off by China for a long time"
- Meeting with Putin was not always conciliatory
He's threatening China with more tariffs yet again. So far, we're not seeing any sharp reaction in the market. There was a mild dip in S&P 500 futures on the headlines but nothing more than that so far. The FX market remains calm.
