Trump and the Financial Turmoil Briefing under the "War of Words" with the Federal Reserve

Recently, the fierce confrontation between Trump and the Federal Reserve has led to significant turmoil in the U.S. financial markets. Trump openly accused Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, causing the dollar, U.S. stocks, and U.S. bonds to plummet, while the price of gold soared to $3,450 per ounce, and the global sentiment of "dumping U.S. assets" is spreading.

The dramatic market fluctuations, however, have solidified Powell's position. If Trump were to rashly dismiss Powell at this time, it would severely undermine global confidence in the U.S. financial system. Chicago Fed official Gools has repeatedly warned that undermining the independence of the Federal Reserve could lead to uncontrollable inflation, economic recession, and a wave of unemployment, pointing out that if Trump increases tariffs affecting only 11% of imported goods, the economic impact remains manageable. This statement not only firmly responds to political pressure but also attempts to soothe market sentiment, reiterating that Federal Reserve decisions are based solely on economic data.

However, the market is skeptical of Trump's claim that "tariff negotiations are progressing smoothly," with investors generally worried that Powell's dismissal could trigger systemic risks. Currently, Wall Street has entered a defensive posture: investors are selling off assets to hedge against risks; in the pricing of U.S. assets, the weight of political interference and institutional risk factors has significantly increased; if Powell is replaced, it could likely trigger a massive withdrawal of global funds from dollar assets, causing an epic financial upheaval, and the subsequent developments are worth close attention.#特朗普施压鲍威尔
