#战略性加仓BTC The Power Struggle at the Federal Reserve: Policy Independence Under Threat
The recent turmoil has centered around personnel changes at the Federal Reserve. On December 29, Trump made a major announcement—planning to appoint a successor to Chair Powell as early as January next year. Powell's current term was set to run until 2026, but Trump has publicly criticized him for slow rate hikes and even threatened to remove him.
It's not just words. Trump has also subtly hinted at possible criminal charges like "misconduct" against Powell. The wall of "relative independence" between the White House and the Fed seems to be cracking.
Who might step in? Reports suggest Trump is considering several candidates, including former Chief Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett and former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh. This is no longer just a personnel change—it directly threatens the foundation of the Fed's century-old independence in setting monetary policy.
From an investment perspective, if power begins to encroach on monetary decision-making, global liquidity strategies will inevitably shift. Capital will seek safe-haven assets, new opportunities, and consensus-supported destinations amid this uncertainty.
The key question is: Will Powell be forced to step down early? Can the Fed withstand this political pressure? What are your thoughts on this upheaval?
