yeah,, Trumps strategy is aggressive & destabilising however the Fed has not given up power.  Investor trust still depends on independence.


Hopefully, but I am losing faith: why Powell, who is going to retire soon anyway, chose to open for a rate cut in September? I could understand the members of the board, who need to be re-elected, but JPOW? He could have signaled a total independence of the FED from the WHite House, which is by far more important, in the long run, than a mere 25 bps cut.
