I’m watching this week’s Fed meeting closely, with markets almost certain of a 25bp rate cut — signaling that “higher for longer” may be ending. But what matters more to me is Trump’s effort to reshape the Fed. His shortlist — Waller, Bowman, Hassett, Warsh, and Rieder — points to a more dovish and politically aligned central bank that could favor faster, deeper cuts ahead of the 2026 election.

If Trump’s nominees prevail, I expect a short-term rally in tech, gold, and emerging markets as liquidity returns. Still, the bond market’s re-steepening warns that investors doubt a smooth landing. Political influence over monetary policy has burned the economy before, and I’m cautious about history repeating itself.

My approach now is to stay balanced — participating in the rate-cut rally while hedging against renewed inflation. I’ll keep exposure to quality growth and gold, but stay defensive in case the easing wave turns into a policy hangover.

    It's smart to stay cautious; history does have a way of repeating itself.
