Trump says "the Fed has gone crazy" after the fall on Wall Street
US President Donald Trump said today that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) "has gone crazy" after the notable fall in Wall Street, which the White House tried to play down.

"The Fed is making a mistake, they are too tight (interest rates), I think the Fed has gone crazy," he told reporters in Erie, Pennsylvania, where he plans to hold a rally.
"There are people who will say that (the rise in interest rates) gives a lot of security, and yes, it gives a lot of security and a lot of margin, but I think the Fed has gone crazy," he added.
The Dow Jones today left more than 830 points on the road, which translates into a decline of 3.15 percent, and the S & P 500 dropped by 3.29 percent, both percentages not seen since early last month. February.
The hardest blow was taken, however, by the Nasdaq, where a number of important technology companies are listed, which fell by 4.08%, a fall recorded for the last time in November 2016.
The day is a continuation of the negative trend that began in the market last week as a result of the fear that aroused in the investors a rise in the profitability of public debt, combined with the possibility of a new rise in interest rates by the Fed.
