The Federal Reserve is set to release their September rate decision this upcoming Wednesday. If Yellen is indeed political, and the businessman’s statements perturbed her, she may use the meeting as an opportunity to prove him wrong.

Isn’t the common theory at this time that the Fed May actually push sub zero interest rates?

If rates go up, so does interest payments on the national debt.

As hard it is for some here to believe partisan presidential politics on ether side are something the markets pay little attention to in any campaign season.
If anything they will react to changes in Congress...

They know damn well if they start jacking up the rates, it’ll stick knife in what’s left of this sick declining economy.

Nonsense. Raising rates will cause Hillary to lose in a massive landslide

There is no way that Yellen is increasing rates. She knows she’s out of a job if Donald Trump is elected. And she knows if she increases rates the stock market will go down hard just before the election, making it harder for Hillary to win and for Yellen to keep her job.

They certainly will. I predicted this if Romney won. All of a sudden the liars in the Fed would all of a sudden start raising rates, and other countries will be calling in their debt. And that oil will stop being traded in $.
This will definitely happen if Trump is elected, in my opinion. And they will try to blame him.

If Yellen is indeed political, and the businessman’s statements perturbed her, she may use the meeting as an opportunity to prove him wrong. So if the Fed doesn't raise interest rates then it's a political decision meant solely to prove Trump wrong and damage his electoral chances. If the Fed does raise interest rates then it's a political decision meant to trash the stock market and damage Trump's electoral chances. The Fed can't win.
And as an exbanker you should know that it's not up to Yellen. It's up to the ten members of the FOMC, of which hers is a single vote.

Trump induced??
Are they admitting that the Fed intends to sabotage a Trump presidency??
