The term contracts on the American stock market indices bounce back on Tuesday, after having finished down the day before, undermined by the remarks of American president Donald Trump against the president of the American Federal Reserve (Fed), Jerome Powell.
The tenant of the White House said on his social network Thruth that the American economy was going to slow down unless the president of the FED “does not lower interest rates now”, arousing concerns about the influence of the Head of State on the Central Bank.
“Trump’s attacks on Fed’s independence are perceived as negative by the market,” writes Mohit Kumar, an economist at Jefferies.
“The market is very nervous and any feeling of negativity or concern is amplified or exaggerated,” said Fiona Cincotta, main market analyst at City Index.

The meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank starting this week, discussions on customs duties should appear at the top of the agenda.
Megan Greene, a member of the BOE monetary policy committee, said on Tuesday that Great Britain was more likely to have a decrease in inflation due to the customs duties of US President Donald Trump. Indeed, according to her, the country’s decision not to impose reciprocal customs duties could make it a destination for cheaper products from Asia and Europe.
