According to Odaily, Ethenea analyst Luca Pesarini stated in a report that this week's Federal Reserve meeting will be remembered more for its test of central bank independence than for its interest rate decisions. Pesarini highlighted that the real challenge lies not in conflicting economic data but in political interference in monetary policy communication. U.S. President Donald Trump recently announced his intention to appoint a successor to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, despite Powell's term having nearly a year remaining. This announcement has brought the concept of a 'shadow chair' into focus. Pesarini noted that if this appointment is made public, there could be conflicting monetary policy signals between the official Federal Reserve and the designated successor, especially if the latter openly advocates for rate cuts.
