President Donald Trump has recently criticized the U.S. Federal Reserve for the decline in stock markets, saying Wednesday that he wasn’t happy with how the central bank continued to raise interest rates.

“The problem I have is with the Fed. The Fed is going wild. I mean, I don’t know what their problem is that they are raising interest rates and it’s ridiculous,” Trump said during a telephone interview on Wednesday with Fox News.

Trump went onto blame the Fed for the stock market decline on Thursday, but added that while he was disappointed, he wouldn’t remove Jay Powell as Fed chair.

On Friday, Treasury yields ticked higher, bouncing back after declines seen on Thursday when the latest consumer prices reading appeared softer than forecast.
