Is it a good signal to fuel the market or make the market more chaotic?

More and more internal and external advisors within the Trump administration are recommending another candidate for the next Federal Reserve Chair: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who is currently leading trade and economic negotiations.Last Friday, Trump stated that he would announce “soon” who will replace Jerome Powell when his term ends in May 2026. There are few names under consideration, including former Fed official Kevin Warsh, whom Trump interviewed for the Treasury Secretary role back in November.However, according to informed sources, Bessent—who has been tasked by Trump with revitalizing the U.S. economy through a sweeping overhaul of trade, taxation, and regulation—has now become a contender for the Fed Chair position. Two individuals familiar with the matter, speaking on co

President Trump dropped another bombshell on Friday, telling reporters that a decision on the next Federal Reserve Chair will be made “very soon.” But what really caught the market’s attention was his not-so-subtle jab at Jerome Powell’s rate policy and his insistence that a “good Fed chair” would be one who lowers interest rates.

The Shadow Fed Chair: Can 2025 Rate Cuts Spark a Market Surge or Chaos? The financial world is abuzz with anticipation following President Donald Trump’s Friday announcement.

Trump's Fed Chair Gambit - Politics, Policy and the Prospects for Rate Cuts

🌟🌟🌟In a recent twist of political economic event, President Trump has stirred the waters with comments suggesting that a new Fed Chair, one he views as "good" for the economy, would lead to lower interest rates. Could a more dovish Fed Chair ease borrowing costs to the market's delight?  Or would premature cuts foster uncertainty and volatility? President Trump's comments appear to be aimed more at influencing the narrative rather  than reshaping monetary policy.   His assertion that a "good" Fed Chair would lower rates is a political signal meant to appeal to those frustrated with current borrowing costs. However the Fed's mandate is to balance maximum employment with low and stable inflation.  This means that any decision to cut rates will ultimately be driven by

Ah 😂 the classic Trump playbook - Lower rates, pump the markets, & hope inflation doesn't RSVP to the party 🎉 🥳. If the "Shadow " Fed Chair follow suits, we might just end up with rate cuts faster than a tweet storm. Who's ready for some 🎢 volatility? [Helpless]

Earlier on Friday, Trump once again publicly called out Jerome Powell, demanding a full one-percentage-point rate cut. In a social media post, Trump again used his nickname for Powell, “Too Late,” writing:“The Fed’s ‘Too Late’ is a disaster! Europe has already cut rates ten times, and we (the U.S.) haven’t cut once. Despite him (Powell), our country is still doing well. Cut a full point—rocket fuel!”Since Trump took office this year, the Federal Reserve has held steady, refraining from rate cuts. Back in late January, when Trump directly lashed out at Powell, Wall Street news outlet Jianwen noted that Peter Conti-Brown, a Fed historian at the University of Pennsylvania, commented:“What Trump says to the Fed doesn’t matter as much as what he actually does.”

Fed cut sep to watch for market upside 
Sorry, the original content has been removed
There will be another person taking over Powell immediately. There will not be any impact. The potential temporary drop will just be triggered by machines algorithm that reacts to the "bad news" and the market will quickly recover from the sell off

Market will fall down quite badly and become volatile because of the uncertainty. America will lose credibility and hence the trust of the world.

Dollar Bashing - The beginning of the end?

USD is in trouble... I have said that 2 years ago (dated April 2023) in a series of articles titled, "US pushes China towards world dominance Series (5 Parts Series)".  Not sure if anyone had read that, not to mention remember those... Having said that, when I wrote those, even though I had mentioned Donald Trump as one of the main culprit for the demise of the dollar, the current scenario is not one I had predicted. The rest of those 5 part-series remains intact. I think 🐯 should give those articles another review and share with the readers! @TigerStars  I would love to share them here again (but not sure how to link them). Each article is a heavyweight on their own right and worth a read... I will probably repost
