#TrumpVsPowell Trump is back on stage — and this time he is directly attacking the head of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, whom he appointed himself.
At the center of the conflict are interest rates. Trump demands a reduction, while Powell maintains the Federal Reserve's independence.
The White House is tense, the Secretary of the Treasury and advisors are alarmed, but Trump is not backing down. The law, however, is not on his side — you cannot simply fire the head of the Federal Reserve.
Powell responds firmly: there will be a court battle, and the Federal Reserve is ready for a "collective uprising."
Rates are rising - markets are trembling.
If Powell goes, shocks are possible: pressure on the dollar, panic among investors, sharp swings in the cryptocurrency market.
According to the futures market, the probability of firing the head of the Federal Reserve has already jumped to 25%. In such turbulence, unique abilities are born. A storm is coming — and Bitcoin could become a lifeboat or a wild storm.
