Trump’s latest threat to fire Fed Chair Powell feels more like a pressure tactic than a real plan. While it triggered a sharp market drop, most investors know he cannot actually remove Powell. The Fed's independence is a cornerstone of market stability, and the swift pushback from major bank CEOs like Jamie Dimon and David Solomon reinforces that.

Still, these outbursts often create short-term volatility & sometimes buying opportunities. The market's quick rebound suggests that optimism remains, especially with potential rate cuts ahead. If Trump keeps pushing for July cut and the Fed holds off until September, we could see  sharp swings.

In the bigger picture, the real concern is whether future Fed chairs can stay independent under such pressure. Trump has a pattern of publicly attacking powerful figures, from Elon Musk to Jeff Bezos. As long as markets focus on data & fundamentals, I see these moments as temporary storms rather than lasting threats.
