🚨 POWELL FIRES BACK AT TRUMP — MARKETS SHAKEN IN REAL TIME 🇺🇸⚠️

For the first time ever, Jerome Powell has openly pushed back.

Over the last 12 months, the Federal Reserve Chair stayed silent while facing repeated public criticism from Donald Trump — consistently responding with “no comment.”

📢 That silence ended today.

Amid reports of a new criminal probe by federal prosecutors, Powell stated that the “threat is a consequence of not following the preferences of the President.”

💥 Markets reacted instantly

US stock futures dropped over -0.5% within minutes

Risk sentiment weakened across global markets

⏸️ Macro pressure is rising

The Federal Reserve is widely expected to pause rate cuts again on January 28

With only ~6 months left in his term, Powell appears to be drawing a clear line on Fed independence

⚠️ Why this matters

Political pressure + monetary policy = higher volatility

A public Trump vs Powell standoff increases uncertainty

Markets now have to price policy risk, not just economic data

📉 Expect sharper moves, faster reactions, and less forgiveness for crowded trades.
