🚨 U.S. DOLLAR COLLAPSING IN REAL TIME!!
The DOJ has filed criminal charges against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, marking the most consequential shift in American monetary governance since 1913.
Most people won’t fully grasp what changed this week until months from now.
Powell himself said the DOJ probe threatens the Fed’s independence and is directly linked to his refusal to cut rates when Trump demanded.
📌 Timeline:
• Dec 18, 2025: FOMC holds rates, defying Trump
• Jan 9, 2026: DOJ serves subpoenas
• Jan 28, 2026: Fed expected to pause cuts again
• May 2026: Powell’s term ends
Just 21 days from rate defiance to criminal threat — a clear message: political control over monetary policy is here.
💥 Market Reaction:
• S&P futures dumped
• Dollar weakened
• Gold exploded higher
Why? Because markets are pricing political rates instead of data-driven policy.
⚠️ Implications:
• Higher term premiums
• Massive bond volatility
• Stress across every asset class
💎 Key Insight:
A hit to U.S. monetary policy = rocket fuel for hard assets, poison for financial stability.
After 10+ years in trading, I can say:
Volatility is coming. A crash is coming. And it won’t be accidental.
