The uncertainty surrounding Powell’s future had caused a sell-off in the markets, but Trump’s statement calmed investors, leading to a surge in US stocks in after-hours trading. This reassurance from the president signaled to the market that there are still checks and balances in place to protect the independence of key institutions like the Federal Reserve.
