BIG WARNING: Trump vs Powell Is Turning Into a Macro Risk
Reports suggest the DOJ has opened a criminal probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell,
officially tied to testimony over the Fed’s HQ renovation. Powell’s camp says the real issue is political pressure to force interest rate cuts
a direct challenge to Fed independence.
Why this matters: the Fed is meant to be data-driven, not political. Trump has openly
pushed for lower rates and is reportedly exploring replacements willing to ease policy. Short term, forced cuts could boost stocks
and crypto. Long term, history shows this risks inflation, market instability, and loss of trust in the U.S. dollar.
If confidence in the Fed breaks, capital doesn’t vanish it rotates into gold, $BTC ,
and non USD assets. This isn’t noise. It’s a potential shift in the global macro order.
