If Trump Fires Powell, Will Market Collapse?

Powell rejected all hints at rate cuts on Wednesday. He emphasized that the Fed must ensure tariffs do not spark persistent inflation, stating that "more time is needed" to assess inflation trends. He also dismissed the idea of a Fed Put. On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump lashed out: "Powell is TOO LATE AND WRONG..…Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!" Powell’s term as a Fed governor is set to last until February 2028. ------------- What Happens If Trump Fires Powell?

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.

No market won't collapse. Anyone is replaceable 
Maybe empty threat, like the tariffs on China

Daily Scoop🍨: Trump Calls For Lower Interest Rates Now 📺🍆👌👇

$E-mini Nasdaq 100 - main 2506(NQmain)$   U.S. President Donald Trump called on Monday for "lower interest rates NOW," slamming Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell as "Mr. Too Late" and "a major loser."

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

Liquidity Crisis:Yale Endowment Model In Trouble

In recent years, the endowment funds of top U.S. colleges and universities have frequently attracted attention due to their huge private equity exposure. 2024, Yale University announced that it would sell $6 billion in private assets (15% of its endowment fund) through the secondary market, and Harvard University is also facing liquidity pressures in the context of a crisis in its tax-exempt status.The sell-off storm not only exposes the inherent contradictions of the "Yale model", but may also become a trigger to burst the bubble of the private equity market, triggering a systemic risk comparable to the subprime mortgage crisis.Motivation for the sell-off: the flaws of the Yale model in the volatile gaming marketIvy League endowments have long played the role of "privileged players" in th

What Happens If Trump Fires Powell?

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ The Legal, Economic, and Political Stakes of Undermining the Federal Reserve’s Independence As the 2024 election cycle intensifies, former President Donald Trump has reignited his feud with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump has openly criticized Powell’s handling of monetary policy, particularly over interest rate decisions, and has once again floated the idea of firing him should he return to office. This hypothetical scenario — the removal of a sitting Fed Chair — would not only test the legal framework surrounding the central bank’s independence but could also rattle global markets and shake investor confidence in the stability of U.S. institutions. Let’s e

I think if Trump fires Powell, it could create significant uncertainty in the financial markets, especially given Powell's stance on rejecting rate cuts and his focus on assessing inflation trends. Powell's term as a Fed governor lasts until February 2028, so any attempt to remove him early would likely face legal and political challenges, as the Fed's independence is a cornerstone of U.S. monetary policy. Trump's frustration, as seen in his Truth Social post calling Powell“too late and wrong,”stems from his desire for lower rates to boost economic growth, but firing Powell could backfire by eroding confidence in the Fed, leading to market volatility and a potential spike in Treasury yields. On the other hand, I see a possibility that Trump's threat might be more rhetorical than actionable
If that happens , market will fall into volatility again and with USA on headlines , sell off will happens and create a recession sell off and not really economic recession. Man made not cycles ... the insider will win again .

$Rio Tinto PLC(RIO)$ $BHP Group Limited(BHPLF)$ 🇺🇸🐊 TRUMP’S SWAMP DRAINING STRATEGY: A RELENTLESS TIDE OF TACTICAL MAYHEM 🐊🇺🇸 Three months into his second act, Trump is the architect of disruption, reshaping the political landscape with the precision of a sculptor and the chaos of a storm. His approach? Inundate the system with audacious moves, rewrite the rules with a flourish, and keep his opponents perpetually off balance, scrambling to react to his latest gambit. It’s a spectacle of strategic bedlam, and I’m here for it. In just under 100 days, he’s dismantled the Iran deal with surgical finesse, halted illegal immigration with an iron grip, eviscerated DEI frameworks like a gardener pulling weeds, an
If Trump fires Powell, markets could face major volatility. Investors might see it as a political move undermining Fed independence, triggering a stock sell-off, bond market shifts, and a weaker U.S. dollar. Key impacts include: Market Volatility: Stocks and bonds may swing wildly due to uncertainty. Fed Independence: Confidence in data-driven decisions could erode, raising long-term risks. Policy Changes: A new chair may signal shifts, creating further instability. Investment Strategies: Go to Cash: Protect your portfolio during initial turmoil. Disciplined Dip-Buying: Identify strong assets and set thresholds for re-entry. Global Diversification: Reduce U.S.-specific exposure by investing internationally.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ 🌏🚨🇺🇸 Trump’s Powell Purge Threat: My Global Bets in a Trade War Storm 🌏 💣 Trump didn’t just vent, he aimed a wrecking ball at the Fed’s autonomy. His Truth Social outburst, “Powell is TOO LATE AND WRONG…..Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!”, hit like a market tremor after Powell nixed rate cuts, warning tariffs could fuel “persistent inflation.” From my perch outside the U.S. in New Zealand 🇳🇿, I’m somewhat insulated from direct tariff pain, but global shockwaves, dollar volatility, trade kinks, and tech stock swings, hit my portfolio. Can Trump legally fire Powell? What’s my play in this chaos? Le
