Former Senate Banking Committee Chairman Phil Gramm shares the views of U.S. President Donald Trump when it comes to rate hikes, noting in a
Wall Street Journal op-ed
that the central bank's ability to control interest rates is waning.
Gramm argues that the latest measures by the Fed to reduce its asset holdings on its balance sheet paired with the normalization of rates is causing it to lose its handle on interest rate policy.
"Extraordinarily, this debate is occurring at the very moment the Fed — shackled by its bloated asset holdings and the resulting excess reserves of the banking system — has less ability to control interest rates than it has had in its entire 105-year history," Gramm wrote.
Gramm went on to say further that the Fed's asset holdings and excess bank reserves could spur demand for credit, possibly forcing the Fed's hand to continue raising rates.
"[T]he danger posed by the Fed's bloated asset holdings and the resulting massive level of excess bank reserves is that with a full blown recovery now under way, the demand for credit will accelerate and force the Fed to move quickly to raise interest rates on reserves or sell securities to sop up excess reserves," the piece noted. "A small error by the Fed in following market interest rates could cause a large change in the money supply."
The piece by Gramm, co-authored with Thomas S. Saving, a former director of the Private Enterprise Research Center at Texas A&M University, can be read

Trump: Fed is 'Raising Rates Too Fast'
As has been the case whenever market volatility racks the major indexes, President Trump threw barbs at the Fed ahead of the 2018 holidays, telling reporters at the White House that rates are rising too rapidly for his taste.
“They’re raising interest rates too fast because they think the economy is so good. But I think that they will get it pretty soon,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
The president also took to Twitter to lambaste the central bank after it raised interest rates for a fourth time in 2018.
The only problem our economy has is the Fed. They don’t have a feel for the Market, they don’t understand necessary Trade Wars or Strong Dollars or even Democrat Shutdowns over Borders. The Fed is like a powerful golfer who can’t score because he has no touch - he can’t putt!

Nonetheless, he reaffirmed his confidence in the U.S. economy despite the latest market volatility that saw the Dow lose over 650 points on Christmas Eve.

"I have great confidence in our companies. We have companies, the greatest in the world, and they're doing really well. They have record kinds of numbers. So I think it's a tremendous opportunity to buy," said Trump.
