The Citadel CEO, however, is not sure if the Supreme Court can strike down Trump’s tariffs. \nThat being said, Griffin agreed that some of Trump’s policies, like deregulation, which could unleash “productivity gains” and give inflation a very “healthy” reduction, would take longer to play out. He called it a “timing issue.”\nSee Also: Tom Lee Predicts 10-15% Downside For Stocks In Early 2026: Here Is Why The Ethereum Bull Sees Crypto’s ‘Best Years’ Ahead\nPreviously, Griffin has warned that Trump's public pressure on the Federal Reserve risks undermining its independence and harming U.S. economic credibility, potentially leading to higher inflation and interest rates. Trump dismissed the criticism, saying he prioritizes addressing what he sees as incompetence over protecting the Fed's independence.\nIn a recent interview, Trump expressed uncertainty about whether his economic policies would sway voters in the 2026 midterms, due to the delayed effect of the impact, adding further complexity to the GOP’s economic strategy. However, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood previously said AI-driven productivity gains could drive U.S. inflation to zero or below while boosting real GDP growth to 5%–7% annually in the coming years.\nNotably, as per economic data, the U.S. trade deficit narrowed to $52.8 billion in September, the smallest since June 2020, improving sharply from August and coming in well below expectations. U.S. job openings rose to a five-month high in October, led by healthcare and retail, but slower hiring signaled a cooling labor market. At the same time, for September, Core PCE, the inflation metric tracked by the Fed, cooled from 2.9% to 2.8%, just below the 2.9% expectations.\nREAD NEXT:\nImage via Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
