 WILL TRUMP HIMSELF KILL THE "TRUMP RALLY" IN STOCKS THIS WEEK? $BAC $C $JPM $SCHW $ETFC $X $AKS $CLF

My interpretation from this chart going back 56 years is that Donald Trump’s criticism of the Federal Reserve will kill the “Trump rally.”

It’s not a question of “if,” but “when” and from “how high.” At a minimum, the foundation of the death of the Trump rally will be laid this Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, has jumped 8% from Nov. 8 through Dec. 9.

What is so special about this coming Wednesday? On that day, the Fed will announce its interest-rate decision. The consensus is that the central bank will raise interest rates by 25 basis points and issue a dovish policy statement, meaning policy makers aren’t ready to take aggressive action to stem inflation. After Brexit and the Trump election, investors hopefully have learned to take the consensus with a grain of salt.

Achilles’ heel

The Achilles’ heel of the Trump rally is interest rates. Based on Trumpenomics, the Fed should be raising rates not by a quarter of a point, but by half a point, and also issuing a policy statement that says rates will rise rapidly. A Fed that’s more hawkish than the consensus will kill the rally right away. On the other hand, if the Fed does not take this course, it will sow the seeds of inflation, which will end the rally down the road.
