š±šŗš² For the First Time Ever, Fed Chair Powell Pushes Back š¢
For the past 12 months, Fed Chair Jerome Powell has stayed silent despite repeated criticism from President Trump. Whenever questioned, Powellās response was simple:
āI do not have any response or comment.ā
Today, that silence ended.
Amid reports of a new criminal probe by federal prosecutors, Powell stated that this āthreat is a consequence of not following the preferences of the President.ā š¢
Markets reacted immediately.
š U.S. stock futures dropped more than -0.5% following his remarks.
This comes at a sensitive time, as the Federal Reserve is widely expected to pause rate cuts again on January 28th.
With only six months remaining in his term, Powell appears to be taking a firm stand in defense of Federal Reserve independence.
ā ļø Trump vs. Powell is shaping up to be a major source of market volatility in the months ahead.
