🚨 Washington Shockwave: Fed Under Pressure
Reports out of D.C. suggest the U.S. Attorney’s Office has opened a criminal probe connected to the costly renovation of the Federal Reserve HQ—putting Fed Chair Jerome Powell in the spotlight.
The bigger concern for markets isn’t the building—it’s timing. With rates, inflation, and politics colliding, any threat to Fed independence adds uncertainty. And markets hate uncertainty.
📉📈 Why traders care:
If policy decisions look politically influenced, volatility spikes. Risk assets can move fast—both ways.
