US President Trump praised the third-quarter GDP data on social media, noting that GDP growth reached 4.2%, far exceeding the expected 2.5%. However, the market reaction is now unusual: in the past, good news boosted the market, but now good news often leads to flat or declining stock markets—because Wall Street is always worried that good news will immediately trigger interest rate hikes to prevent "potential" inflation. Trump stated, "This makes it difficult for us to recreate the prosperous markets of our nation's rise. Strong markets themselves do not cause inflation; wrong policies do. I want the new Fed chairman to cut interest rates when the market is doing well, not to suppress it unnecessarily. I want to see a market that hasn't been seen in decades: a market that rises when it should rise and falls when it should fall, a market that should be, and has always been." Trump also stated, "Inflation will naturally subside, and we can raise interest rates when necessary, but never to suppress the rise. If we let those 'nerds' do everything they can to destroy the upward trend, the nation will never be strong." Trump concluded bluntly, "Anyone who disagrees with me will never be the Fed chairman."
