Our good friends at HJ Sims Investments recently published their “Market Outlook” for 2017, which features some interesting speculation on where interest rates will go under a Trump Administration.
A key excerpt:
It usually takes at least a year for a President’s policies to affect the economy. However, the prospect of a higher economic growth rate will increase interest rates. According to Lance Badorf, a Vice President of HJ Sims, the Federal Reserve and the current Administration “put a collar on the dog” for good reason over 8 years ago, and they have not removed it. Look for the new Administration to “release the hounds and let the economy run free.”
