The current financial markets are built on intraday movement; when a politician decides to speak he/she is disrupting the flow of the market, causing huge spikes lower, which take a longer period of time to recover from. From an administration that is trying to build a stronger economy one would think it would be more logical to wait until the markets close to have press conferences, especially since historically, when a politician speaks, it has a negative effect on the markets.
