🚨 POWELL BREAKS HIS SILENCE — AND MARKETS FELT IT IMMEDIATELY 🇺🇸⚠️
For the first time ever, Jerome Powell didn’t stay quiet.
For over a year, the Fed Chair absorbed repeated public attacks from Donald Trump, responding each time with the same calm line: “No comment.”
📢 That changed today.
Amid reports of a new criminal probe by federal prosecutors, Powell made it clear:
the pressure he’s facing is a direct result of not aligning with the President’s preferences.
💥 Markets reacted in real time • U.S. stock futures slid more than 0.5% within minutes
• Risk appetite weakened across global markets
• Volatility instantly picked up
⏸️ Macro tension is building The Fed is now widely expected to pause rate cuts again on January 28
With roughly six months left in his term, Powell appears to be drawing a firm line around Fed independence
⚠️ Why this really matters When politics collides with monetary policy, uncertainty explodes
A public Trump vs. Powell standoff adds a new layer of risk
Markets now have to price political pressure, not just inflation and data
📉 What to expect next Sharper moves
Faster reactions
Less mercy for crowded trades
