President Trump just turned his attention to the Federal Reserve.
He is threatening Jerome Powell, the Fed Chair he appointed.
Trump wants interest rates cut immediately. He wants the economy stimulated before the next election.
Powell is not cooperating.
The Fed is holding rates steady.
Inflation is still above target.
The war in Iran is pushing oil higher.
So Trump is applying pressure. Publicly. Aggressively.
He has talked about removing Powell before.
He cannot directly fire him. But he can make his life miserable.
Markets hate this.
The Fed is supposed to be independent.
Not political. Not bullied.
When a president threatens the central bank, investors get nervous. The dollar could weaken. Bonds could sell off. Gold could rally.
No one wins when the Fed and the White House are at war.
Trump wants lower rates. Powell wants lower inflation. Those two goals do not align.
Something has to give. And markets are watching every move.
