Trump’s comments definitely stirred things up, but I’m not making any drastic moves like going fully to cash. Volatility is still relatively contained, and the FedWatch tool still shows decent odds for a June cut. That tells me the market isn’t panicking—yet. Personally, I’m sticking to my plan and watching key levels rather than reacting to headlines.

I follow a disciplined dip-buying strategy, especially during periods of uncertainty like this. The Fed’s cautious tone makes sense to me—cutting too soon could backfire if inflation flares up again. So while Europe is easing, I think Powell is right to wait for more clarity on the inflation trend.

As for Trump trying to fire Powell, it’s more political noise than a real risk—for now. The Fed’s independence is critical, and any serious attempt to remove Powell early would likely trigger legal and institutional pushback. Until then, I’ll keep focusing on fundamentals and avoid getting caught in the drama.

Possible Shadow Fed Chair: Will 2025 Rate Cut Ignite Market?
President Donald Trump said on Friday that a decision on the next Federal Reserve chair will be coming out soon, adding that a good Fed chair would lower interest rates. "It's coming out very soon". Trump criticizes Powell's rate policy again. ---------- How do you expect Trump's move? Will the "shadow" fed chair bring more rate cuts? Is it a good signal to fuel the market or make the market more chaotic?
