The US economy’s long-term interest rates could be in for an upward pressure in the long haul as the country’s two most powerful economic bodies could possibly implement policies that could complement each other and raise interest rates in the future. As Trump is toying with the idea of spending and tax policies which could increase the country’s budget deficit, the Fed is now considering to cut down its holdings and bonds portfolio worth $4.5 trillion. This possible cut back in bonds could ultimately mean higher interest rates and higher yields for the US economy.
