Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has reaffirmed the Trump administration's commitment to a robust long-term economic strategy, emphasizing a focus on the "real economy" amidst recent market turbulence.
In a candid interview on CNBC, Bessent addressed the volatility plaguing stock markets, which have faced a turbulent month, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average experiencing a decline of over 7%.
While acknowledging that the stock market has been shaky, Bessent highlighted that such fluctuations are to be expected, insisting that they should not distract from the administration’s overarching goals.
He stated, "We're focused on the real economy. Can we create an environment where there are long-term gains in the market and long-term gains for the American people?"
This comments come as some investors express concern over President Trump's tariff strategies and their implications for the economy.
However, Secretary Bessent remains optimistic, asserting that the current market turbulence should not be a cause for alarm.
"The reason stocks are a safe and great investment is because you're looking over the long term," he noted. "If you start looking at micro horizons, stocks become very risky."
Bessent’s remarks signal confidence in the administration's economic policies, which he believes will establish a solid foundation for future income and job growth.
Adding to the positive economic outlook, the Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported flat wholesale inflation rates for February, considerably lower than Wall Street's expectations. This offers a glimmer of hope that inflation pressures may be easing.
"Maybe the inflation is getting under control, and the market is going to have some confidence in that," Bessent stated.
His comments are a clear message to markets that the Trump administration is focused on long-term gains for American businesses and workers, rather than reacting to short-term economic fluctuations.
As President Trump leads the charge on pro-business policies, it is evident that his administration seeks to create a thriving environment for all Americans.
