Jerome Powell Out? Markets on Edge as Fed Future Hangs in Balance
Speculation is heating up about the potential removal of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell — and if it happens, the U.S. financial landscape could enter uncharted territory.
Powell has acted as a stabilizing force, juggling inflation control, interest rates, and the growing dominance of crypto and tech stocks.
But without him, things could get wild:
Market manipulation may rise in the absence of strict Fed oversight
Institutional players could exploit volatility unchecked
Crypto markets might either soar or crash, depending on new leadership
Regulations could soften, giving more sway to corporate lobbyists
With Trump’s renewed pro-crypto stance and Wall Street closely monitoring every move, Powell’s exit could either spark chaos or usher in a new financial era.
