According to ChainCatcher, ING foreign exchange strategist Francesco Pesole stated in a report that the U.S. dollar is at risk of a significant decline following a subpoena issued to the Federal Reserve by the U.S. Department of Justice over headquarters renovation cost overruns.
Pesole highlighted that this development has reignited market concerns about the Federal Reserve's independence and could potentially trigger a renewed 'sell-America' trade. He emphasized that any further attempts to interfere with the Federal Reserve's independence would pose considerable downside risk to the dollar.
