  7. “Dollar Drops as Trump Says He's Firing Fed's Cook…”

    ~#Trump ‘s move adds more negative sentiment toward US assets, after his tariff war & widening deficit revived a ‘Sell America’ theme earlier this year & more questions about US exceptionalism. Traders have been seeking alternatives to the dollar, the world's reserve currency… Any perception of eroding Fed independence could accelerate that shift.

  8. “Dollar Drops as Trump Says He's Firing Fed's Cook…”

    “The Treasury curve steepened, with a drop in two-year yields reflecting growing speculation of a Fed interest-rate cut as soon as next month, while 30-year yields climbed on concern looser monetary policy would risk fueling inflation.”

  9. Can Trump fire the Fed governor, Lisa Cook, without cause?

    “Probably not. The Supreme Court has repeatedly gone out of its way to say the Fed occupies a distinctive place in the government. But those statements were asides rather than rulings, and the court has given the green light to many other administration initiatives.”

  10. “Despite the law, President Franklin D. Roosevelt fired a commissioner, William Humphrey. The only reason he gave was that Mr. Humphrey's actions were not aligned with the administration's policy goals. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the firing had been unlawful.”
