🚨 POLITICAL PRESSURE BUILDS ON THE FED
Donald Trump has reignited the rate war, sharply criticizing Fed Chair Jerome Powell and arguing the U.S. should be running the lowest interest rates globally. His message is clear: tight policy is, in his view, strangling growth while giving foreign economies a competitive edge. 🇺🇸
The Fed, however, remains locked on inflation control and long-term credibility — a stance that clashes directly with Trump’s push for fast, aggressive cuts. This growing divide puts Federal Reserve independence back under the spotlight.
For markets, the risk isn’t just policy shifts — it’s politicization. As pressure intensifies, investors may need to price politics alongside CPI prints and labor data. Expect higher sensitivity across equities, bonds, FX, and risk assets if rhetoric starts shaping expectations. ⚠️📉
This is no longer noise. Monetary policy is becoming a frontline political battlefield — and markets are paying attention.
