Does the FED Plan on Bringing the Market to It's Knees, to Destroy Trump?

[allthingsluxury]

With tightly clenched fists, market pundits, analyst and investors eagerly awaited the news from Jerome Powell, the current FED Chairman.

What had the markets once again on edge is whether or not the FED will continue down its path towards calamity and once again go against the markets wishes and short term interests, raising rates.

Throughout the course of 2018, I wrote a series of articles highlighting how the FED could and perhaps even may want to bring the economy crashing to a halt.

The reasons for this are many, but the most obvious is their opposition of President Trump, whom has made it crystal clear that he is not a fan of the Federal Reserve, sparring constantly with them.

Trump, much to the dismay of many of his supporters has tied himself with an anchor to the movements of the markets.

This has worked out fabulously for him as new all time highs were achieved, but as we have recently seen, not so well with the recent gyrations the market is experiencing.

The "hawkish" approach that the FED has recently adopted has confused those who are unable to see what is happening, and angered others who wish they would simply leave the market to its own devices, unhindered by their meddling.

I don't think the FED trying to make Trump look bad is what the dynamic is, rather it is a natural and long predicted response to the economy revving up.

There's no particular vendetta by the FED against Trump, but it's reasonable to assume that since nobody in Washington likes him, they don't like him. (Even though the voting members are spread out across the country). But so what?

None of the people that see the good things Trump has done and continues to do cares one bit. They are used to the continual barrage of lies, half truths and insults.

You are referring to the events of 1990-1992 where all the people lost their bank accounts and pensions? These things are little known in the West.

The FED is a corrupt organization, hoisted upon the American population. They are not accountable to the government, but they will be. They will be exposed.

[Quickseller]

Interestingly, some reputable economists were calling for a rate decrease, and many others, including the WSJ editorial board was calling for rates to be held steady out of the latest Federal Reserve Board meeting this past week. However the Fed decided to take rates by a quarter point (25 basis points), and financial markets did not react kindly, with broad based US equity markets falling 4-5% over two days.

It's like chess, the way these guys play their game backward and forward.


Trump Is Considering Firing Fed Chair Powell

Update: shortly after 6pm, Steven Mnuchin posted a pair of tweets in which he denied that Trump had ever suggested firing Powell:

@stevenmnuchin1

(1/2) I have spoken with the President @realDonaldTrump and he said “I totally disagree with Fed policy. I think the increasing of interest rates and the shrinking of the Fed portfolio is an absolute terrible thing to do at this time,...


Steven Mnuchin

@stevenmnuchin1

(2/2) especially in light of my major trade negotiations which are ongoing, but I never suggested firing Chairman Jay Powell, nor do I believe I have the right to do so.”

if amid the barrage of negative news hitting the market this quarter there has been one outstanding item which would have sent it sharply (even) lower, that would be a flashing red headline - or a tweet from the president - announcing that Trump has fired Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

And while to many such an act would seem unthinkable, even from someone as unorthodox and unpredictable as Trump, it now appears that's precisely the outcome the market will have to worry about next as Bloomberg reports that the president has discussed firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell "as his frustration with the central bank chief intensified following this week’s interest-rate increase and months of stock-market losses", citing four people familiar with the matter.

The rest of the site is pretty interesting. The site keeps updating even though I stopped it. So, I unplugged my modem, just so I could finish reading it.

Wow....

I'll have to think about that. I have studied inflationary cycles and economic corrections, but paralleling that series of events with USA today had never occurred to me.

Of course such an event would occur with some quirky American features, such as stocks go down, liquor stocks go up. And maybe crypto.
