Fed mouthpiece: Wall Street is starting to worry about a hard landing for the U.S. economy, Trump doesn't care about falling stock prices...

U.S. President Donald Trump, who pushed for tariffs, said last week that he could not rule out a possible recession in the U.S. economy, triggering a sharp drop in U.S. stocks on Monday. Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos, known as the "Fed sounding board", wrote an analysis today that Wall Street is worried that Trump may force the US economy to a hard landing.

U.S. President Donald Trump and his top advisers have hinted in recent days that they don't care about the rising risk of trade uncertainty inhibiting private investment, arguing that spending and hiring may need to be "detoxified", that falling stock prices are not a big problem, and that inflation may rise in the short term. Trump said Friday that the U.S. economy will face a "transition period" and that what he wants to do is build a strong country that can't just focus on the stock market, and that tariffs will be the greatest thing the U.S. has ever done that will make America rich again. In recent weeks, the Trump administration has taken a two-pronged approach, drastically cutting federal government staff and threatening to impose huge tariffs on some of America's largest trading partners, catching Washington and Wall Street off guard. Some analysts have warned that Mr. Trump's tough rhetoric may reflect a strategic effort aimed at bolstering U.S. leverage in trade talks and pressuring the Federal Reserve and bond markets to lower interest rates, and his impulsive behavior on trade and security has prompted Chinese and European authorities to take steps to increase spending on economic stimulus and defense. Recession doubts rise Analysts believe that the tone shift of Mr. Trump and his advisers in recent days is very alarming, and the Trump administration's initial strategy seems to be to downplay the risk of rising Treasury bond yields or blame the Biden administration for the slowdown in advance, but recent rhetoric seems to go beyond those levels. Dario Perkins, an economist at GlobalData TS Lombard in London, said: "Right now, there's almost a sense that if something goes wrong with the economy, that's okay, and that makes people very nervous, because if it gets to the point of pushing the economy into recession, there's no guarantee that the recession will pass quickly." JPMorgan economists said on Monday that the risk of recession has risen from 30% to 40% due to extreme U.S. policies, and Goldman Sachs has been bullish on higher-than-average growth in recent years, but the bank has now raised the probability of a U.S. recession in the next 12 months from 15% to 20%. Andy Laperriere, head of U.S. policy research at Piper Sandler, warned that Trump is telling people with everything he does that he is serious about tariffs, and that a weak economy will not force Trump to recalibrate his policies, but is more likely to prompt him to consider other economic-damaging policies, such as more aggressively forcing the Fed to cut interest rates.
