Why Trump Demands Rate Cuts
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on Jun 18, 2025
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour, recorded on Jun 18, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the growing market expectation that interest rates will drop sharply, and why they disagree with that view.
They explain how Trump is pushing aggressively for rate cuts to ease the burden of massive fiscal deficits, even as U.S. debt servicing costs soar.
Samantha highlights the lack of real demand for long-term bonds and why recent legislation and central bank actions may not fix the structural debt problem.
Ultimately, they argue that attacking Fed Chair Powell and demanding drastic cuts is politically motivated, not economically justified, and could backfire.
