😱🇺🇲 For the First Time Ever, Fed Chair Powell Pushes Back 📢
For the past 12 months, Fed Chair Jerome Powell has stayed silent despite repeated criticism from President Trump. Whenever questioned, Powell’s response was simple:
“I do not have any response or comment.”
Today, that silence ended.
Amid reports of a new criminal probe by federal prosecutors, Powell stated that this “threat is a consequence of not following the preferences of the President.” 📢
Markets reacted immediately.
📉 U.S. stock futures dropped more than -0.5% following his remarks.
This comes at a sensitive time, as the Federal Reserve is widely expected to pause rate cuts again on January 28th.
With only six months remaining in his term, Powell appears to be taking a firm stand in defense of Federal Reserve independence.
⚠️ Trump vs. Powell is shaping up to be a major source of market volatility in the months ahead.
