The recent turmoil in the US economy has sent shockwaves through the global financial markets. President Donald Trump’s attacks on Federal Reserve chair Jay Powell have led to a sharp decline in the value of the dollar and a surge in gold prices. Investors are now grappling with mounting uncertainty over US economic policy and its implications for the 2024 US election.

The dollar fell to a three-year low against a basket of its key trading partners, while gold reached a record high of $3,385 per troy ounce. The Swiss franc also saw a significant increase, climbing 1% against the dollar to SFr0.8069, its highest level in a decade. The euro and yen both rallied over 1% against the dollar.

US sovereign debt sold off as well, with yields on 10-year US Treasuries rising to 4.36% and 30-year Treasury yields increasing to 4.86%. This inverse relationship between bond yields and prices has caught many investors off guard.

Parisha Saimbi, a foreign exchange strategist at BNP Paribas, noted the unusual correlation between the weakening dollar and rising Treasury yields. This divergence in the usual relationship between FX and rates has left investors puzzled and wary of the implications for their portfolios.

The market response to Trump’s comments on potentially dismissing Powell has been swift and significant. Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, hinted at the possibility of Powell’s removal, sending shockwaves through the financial markets. With Trump’s repeated calls for interest rate cuts and his assertion of the right to fire Powell, investors are bracing for further volatility in the coming months.

Asian markets reacted cautiously to the news, with stock market benchmarks in Japan and Taiwan falling while China’s CSI 300 index edged up slightly. Futures for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were both down, indicating a rocky start to the trading day in the US.

The Federal Reserve’s independence is crucial for maintaining stability in the financial markets. Any attempts to interfere with monetary policy or pressure Powell to cut rates could have serious repercussions for the US economy and global investors.

As the 2024 US election looms closer, the uncertainty surrounding economic policy and the Federal Reserve’s independence have become key issues for investors to monitor.
