Trump vs. Fed: A new wave of pressure on Powell could hit the dollar and markets

President Trump is once again at the center of an economic storm — now he is publicly demanding the firing of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of "delayed" responses and unwillingness to lower rates.

"Powell is a loser. Interest rates must be lowered NOW!" — Trump stated.

Meanwhile, Powell himself cites tariffs as the cause of inflation and refuses to change course until the "situation clarifies."

But the main threat is the pressure on the Fed's independence. If Trump tries to remove Powell, the market could respond with stagflation:

— Rising yields

— Dollar collapse

— Panic in the stock market

Do you support Trump's intervention in Fed policy? Or is the independence of the regulator more important?
