Thereās a lot of buzz in the financial world right now! Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has introduced the "3-3-3" plan, focusing on:Ā
ā 3% real GDP growth šĀ
ā 3% budget deficit (as a % of GDP) š°Ā
ā 3M more barrels of U.S. oil production per dayš¢ļøĀ
Ā At the same time, Trumpās team is prioritizing long-term interest ratesāparticularly the 10-year Treasury yieldārather than pushing for a direct cut in the Fed Funds rate. While Trump has no direct authority over the Federal Reserveās short-term rate decisions, policies like increased oil production, deregulation, and economic growth could help cool inflationāpotentially influencing the Fedās stance over time.Ā
And weāre already seeing some movement! š The 10-year Treasury yield has started to decline, and mortgage rates have edged lower. If this trend continues, borrowing costs could ease, affecting everything from home purchases to business investments.Ā
Ā As these policies play out, the economic landscape could keep shifting. Staying informed and adaptable could help in navigating whatās ahead.Ā
