00:00FED INDEPENDENCE UNDER FIRE

00:01A GLOBAL ECONOMIC THREAT

00:03The very foundation of U.S. financial stability,

00:07the independence of the Federal Reserve is under unprecedented scrutiny.

00:12The specter of President Trump, potentially removing Fed Chair Jerome Powell,

00:16despite the legal hurdles, casts a long shadow over global markets.

00:21This isn't just a domestic issue.

00:22It's a critical test of an institution vital to the world's economic order.

00:27The market's initial reaction to even the suggestion of Powell's removal speaks volumes,

00:32a dip in the S&P 500, a surge in Treasury yields, and a weaker dollar.

00:38These are not isolated incidents, but clear indicators of investor apprehension.

00:43The concern isn't just about who leads the Fed, but about the very principle of its autonomy.

00:48The removal of a Fed Chair is legally untested, and Powell would almost certainly challenge it,

00:53leading to a protracted and messy court fight that could even reach the Supreme Court.

00:59Such prolonged legal limbo would infuse markets with extreme uncertainty,

01:03impacting investment decisions and overall confidence.

01:07A direct affront to Fed independence would be catastrophic.

01:11This autonomy is crucial for managing inflation, maintaining financial stability,

01:15and ensuring price stability in the United States.

01:18George Saravallos, global head of FX strategy at Deutsche Bank, warns that historical and academic

01:25evidence is clear.

01:27A loss of central bank independence can lead to a collapse of the currency and the bond market

01:32as inflation expectations skyrocket.

01:34Unlike past presidents, President Trump's public pressure on the Fed risks ripping the fabric

01:40of the universe, as one analyst put it.

01:42Firing Powell would not only damage the USS image globally, but would also shake investor

01:48faith in a long-standing system that underpins the global financial order.

01:52The integrity of the U.S. financial system, and by extension, the world's, hangs in the

01:57balance.

01:58Think of countries where political interference has led to double-digit inflation and economic

02:03turmoil.

02:04This is the very real risk facing the U.S. beyond the immediate market chaos.

02:09An unprecedented legal battle would ensue.

02:11This isn't merely about political disagreement, it's about setting a dangerous precedent.
