“THE BOTTOM LINE, THE REASON WHY WE'VE HAD INFLATION IS WE'VE FLUSHED SO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS ECONOMY AND THEN THERE WAS SUPPLY CHAIN PROBLEMS. SO YOU HAD LIMITED SUPPLY. YOU HAD MORE DEMAND, BECAUSE OF ALL THE FISCAL POLICIES COMING OUT OF WASHINGTON. NO WONDER WE HAD THE KIND OF INFLATION WE DID.”

About Eric Cantor

Vice Chairman & MD · MOELIS & CO

On April 23, 2026, Eric Cantor appeared on "Bloomberg Surveillance TV" to discuss the U.S. economy and energy policy. Cantor attributed the resilience of the American economy to "shock absorbers" implemented by the Trump administration, including tax refunds, a $160 billion tariff refund for corporations, and actions to ease oil supply constraints. He described the current market environment as challenging but stated that financial markets remain forward-looking and optimistic. Cantor characterized the current period as an "era of revolution" involving geopolitical, trade, and technological changes. He predicted that three large IPOs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX could occur within the next nine months, potentially expanding U.S. public equities. Cantor also commented on the political climate, stating that he believed voters would ultimately be concerned about prices at the gas pump and that this would determine the outcome of the midterm elections.
