Since President Donald Trump announced on Monday the dismissal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, the U.S. Treasury yield curve has shown signs of steepening. This unusual action may result in a legal dispute, as Cook’s attorney mentioned her intention to take legal steps to challenge the decision.
“It’s the most recent move in the Federal Reserve conflicts, highlighting just how much political influence is creeping into the central bank,” stated Neil Wilson, UK investment strategist at Saxo, referencing Trump’s effort to dismiss Cook.
It will be nearly impossible for the upcoming chairman to act outside of Trump’s influence. This situation could negatively impact the dollar. The main concern for the market at this moment is the September gathering, but make no mistake — we’re experiencing a transformation similar to what hasn’t been observed in many years.
