| EU exports feeling the heat from potential U.S. tariff hikes. |
Good morning, folks. President Trump’s had enough of the Federal Reserve’s games—and he’s not exactly whispering about it. After torching Powell over bloated spending and weak leadership, the message is clear: accountability is coming to the Fed, whether Wall Street likes it or not. The same crowd that cries foul at a president questioning a $2.5 billion remodel had no issue when the Fed inflated away working-class savings. Investors should pay attention—when Trump rattles the ivory towers, markets start shifting. And here are your Morning Bullets. – Truly yours, Fred Frost |

🔥 The Big BulletWhat happened: Over the weekend, pressure ramped up on the Federal Reserve as President Trump unleashed fresh attacks on Chair Jerome Powell—calling him a "numbskull" and pointing to a $2½ billion Fed renovation as grounds for removal. Treasury Secretary Bessent reportedly privately urged Trump not to fire Powell, citing the risk of wreaking havoc on markets. Betting markets are now speculating on Powell’s successor, underscoring how precariously close the central bank sits to political crosshairs -Business Insider, Guardian, WSJ. Why it matters: This is more than a political spat—it’s an assault on the bedrock of market stability: central-bank independence. A politicized Fed risks losing credibility, spiking inflation expectations, rattling bond and dollar investors, and forcing the Fed to dance to political whims. Markets may shrug now—but institutional trust doesn’t rebound easily. What’s next: Investors should brace for volatility ahead of Powell’s Senate testimony and fresh Fed commentary. The odds of a rate cut may rise if a Trump‑aligned successor takes shape by September. Keep an eye on 10‑year Treasuries and the dollar—if they start sliding, that’s the market signalling fear of political meddling. |
