The interest rate drag is completely Trumps making he’s yelling at the top of his lungs that raising rates is terrible etc. but the Fed was already locked in, so when they raise as was totally expected, the market takes it as a bad sign (as if there was a chance they didn’t raise). Even though the fact they are raising means the economy is still robust, and the fact they changed to more dovish is completely over looked. This has got nothing to do with the house changing hands, global economic indicators out of Europe and Asia are showing slowing international growth, which is probably the biggest primary drag, then there is the trade war uncertainty, secondarily, lastly this interest rate fiasco which normally would give the market some confidence, but now is spooking investors from all sides. The administration needs to be hands off right now because every thing they are doing reeks of desperation. My heart is perfectly healthy that is why I confirmed it with 6 of the best cardiologists, doesn’t appear to be the actions of a healthy individual.
