Economists express concern that former President Trump's economic proposals could exacerbate inflation. Analysts note that his plans, if implemented, may lead to increased government spending and significant tax cuts, which could fuel inflationary pressures in an already volatile economic environment. This situation may impact investor sentiment and market stability as potential inflationary trends could lead to tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve.
