Trump will try to sell attendees on his economic policies in person come Friday, the final day of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting.

He can expect a pleasant welcome from American bankers, including JP MorganChase chief Jamie Dimon and and Goldman Sachs head Lloyd Blankfein, who gave credit to the US president for policies that they said will help boost economic growth and drive markets higher.

"I like a lot more stuff than I don't like," Blankfein, chief executive officer of Goldman Sachs, said in an interview on CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

"I've really liked what he's done for the economy and I think he's gone out of his way to be very, very supportive of the system. And I don't want to be antagonistic to them. And frankly, I want to honor that."

Dimon said he's focusing on policy issues rather than the rhetoric coming out of the administration.

"What I'm bulled up about is that policy makers are making good policy decisions in the US about taxes, about proper regulatory reform," Dimon said.

The Wall Street executives are bracing for higher interest rates, but they're betting incoming Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell and his global counterparts can tighten monetary policy without crashing markets.

"People are worried about the number of Fed increases that might happen this year,'' James Gorman, chief executive of Morgan Stanley.

"I'm not. I think it's healthy.''

Dimon echoed his sentiments, saying a combination of strong growth and slightly higher inflation would leave central banks with no choice but to raise rates. Dimon added that he's "really not worried'' about them hitting the brakes too hard.

Significantly more dour than Dimon and Gorman, though, was billionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates. He told Davos attendees that the bond market has slipped into a bear phase, and warned that a rise in yields could spark the biggest crisis for fixed-income investors in almost 40 years.

While economic growth is in its late stages, he added, it could nevertheless continue to improve for another two years. The current economic environment is good for stocks but bad for bond investors, Dalio said, forecasting that the Fed would tighten monetary policy faster than it has signaled.
