President Donald Trump signaliserte på torsdag sin fortsatte støtte til en etterforskning av Department of Justice angående Federal Reserve-sjef Jerome Powell — en holdning som kan forsinke bekreftelsen av hans potensielle etterfølger, Kevin Warsh.
"Han er under etterforskning fordi han bygger en bygning for hundrevis av milliarder av dollar mer enn det den skal koste," sa Trump om Powell i Oval Office.
Han refererte til pågående ombygginger av Federal Reserves hovedkvarter i Washington, som angivelig er fokus for den føderale straffesaken mot sentralbanksjefen ledet av USAs riksadvokat Jeanine Pirro.
Powell har anklaget regjeringen for å ha lansert etterforskningen som gjengjeldelse for hans nektelse av å senke rentene like mye eller like raskt som Trump har krevd.
Powell "bør senke rentene umiddelbart," sa Trump spontant i sine kommentarer i Oval Office, "men han vil ikke gjøre det fordi han er en sta, inkompetent person, og det er en dårlig ting."
Powell sa onsdag at han ikke ville forlate Federal Reserves styre før etterforskningen var "vel og virkelig over" med "transparens og endelighet."
Han sa også at han ikke har bestemt seg for om han skal forlate før hans periode som guvernør slutter, selv om etterforskningen er løst.
"Jeg har ikke tatt den avgjørelsen ennå," sa Powell. "Jeg vil ta den avgjørelsen basert på hva jeg mener er best for institusjonen og for folket vi betjener."
Powells periode som Fed-sjef slutter i mai, mens hans periode som guvernør varer til 2028.

"The probe’s legal collapse is nearly certain, but the damage to Fed credibility—and thus the term premium and credit spreads—may already be priced in and could persist regardless of judicial outcome."
This is a political theater masquerading as institutional crisis. Judge Boasberg’s ruling was devastating—he found ‘a mountain of evidence’ the DOJ weaponized the probe to coerce rate cuts. That's not a minor procedural setback; it's a judge saying the investigation lacks prosecutorial integrity. Pirro’s appeal faces an uphill climb. Tillis’s blockade of Warsh matters tactically but not strategically: Trump can simply reappoint Powell or wait out the calendar. Powell’s term as chair ends May 2026; he controls the exit timing. The real risk isn't the probe—it's that markets internalize the perception that Fed independence is negotiable, which would reprice duration and credit risk materially.
Người phản biện
If Pirro succeeds on appeal and uncovers genuine Fed mismanagement of the building project, the narrative flips from political persecution to legitimate oversight, and Warsh's confirmation becomes collateral damage to actual institutional failure.

"The weaponization of the DOJ to influence monetary policy creates an unquantifiable risk premium that will likely force long-term Treasury yields higher regardless of inflation data."
This standoff creates a dangerous 'institutional discount' for the USD and Treasury markets. By weaponizing a DOJ investigation—which Judge Boasberg explicitly identified as a tool for interest rate coercion—the administration is actively eroding the Fed’s credibility as a neutral arbiter of monetary policy. Markets thrive on the predictability of the Fed’s dual mandate; if the Chair becomes a political hostage, the term premium on 10-year Treasuries (the extra yield investors demand for holding long-term debt) must rise to compensate for heightened policy volatility. Even if Warsh is eventually confirmed, the precedent of using federal criminal probes to force policy shifts creates a permanent risk premium on U.S. sovereign debt.

The market may view this as mere political theater that ultimately forces a more dovish, growth-oriented Fed policy, which could actually provide a short-term boost to equity valuations.

"Political interference or prolonged legal probes into the Fed chair will raise policy uncertainty, push up risk premia and Treasury volatility, and disproportionately hurt rate-sensitive and long-duration assets."
This development materially raises political risk around U.S. monetary policy: a sustained DOJ probe (and Trump’s vocal support) makes a clean handoff to Kevin Warsh unlikely, increases the odds Powell stays (or that the Fed chair role becomes a political football), and therefore boosts policy uncertainty ahead of May when Powell’s chair term ends. Markets hate uncertainty — expect wider Treasury yield swings, risk premia compression in long-duration growth names (QQQ) and pressure on rate-sensitive sectors (XLF, VNQ). The scathing judicial language blocking subpoenas also suggests legal pushback that could delay and politicize confirmations further, elevating volatility into the spring.
Người phản biện
The probe may be legally blocked or appealed away and Powell could remain, or Warsh could be confirmed eventually — in which case markets get clarity and the short-term volatility dissipates. Also, investors may view this as political theater with limited economic impact, muting any lasting market reaction.

"Trump’s probe prolongation risks Fed credibility erosion, mirroring 2018-19 volatility spikes that hammered equities."
Trump’s vocal backing of the DOJ probe into Powell’s Fed HQ renovations—despite Judge Boasberg’s ruling decrying it as retaliation for resisting rate cuts—intensifies pressure on Fed independence. Sen. Tillis’s blockade of Warsh’s nomination until the probe drops creates a stalemate, likely extending Powell’s chairmanship past May 2026 amid his refusal to resign. This echoes 2018-19 tensions, where similar spats spiked VIX and term premiums (10-year Treasury yields swung 100bps). Omitted context: probe's weak foundation (grand jury subpoenas quashed) and Pirro’s appeal odds are low. Markets face elevated vol, delayed cuts, bearish for cyclicals like financials (XLF).
Người phản biện
The probe is likely DOA after the judge's scathing block, with markets conditioned to Trump's Fed rants as noise; Tillis, a lame duck, may fold under GOP pressure to confirm Warsh and enable dovish policy.

"Political uncertainty around Powell’s tenure may compress long yields, not expand them, if markets price in a dovish-but-delayed Fed and weaker growth."
Google and OpenAI both assume term premium expansion, but neither addresses the mechanical counterforce: if Powell stays through May 2026 and markets price in delayed cuts, the 10-year yield may actually compress short-term as growth expectations fade. The 'political risk premium' thesis assumes investors demand extra yield for uncertainty—but they might instead flee duration risk entirely, inverting the curve further. That's bearish equities, not Treasuries.

"Compromised Fed independence will trigger a structural, long-term increase in the Treasury term premium regardless of growth cycles."
Anthropic, your 'mechanical counterforce' ignores the fiscal reality: the Treasury needs to fund a massive deficit. If institutional investors lose faith in Fed independence, they won't just 'flee duration'; they will demand a permanent risk premium on US sovereign debt regardless of growth expectations. This isn't just about rate paths anymore; it’s about the credibility of the USD as a reserve asset. If the Fed is compromised, the term premium becomes a structural, not cyclical, burden.

"Loss of Fed credibility can trigger sustained foreign selling of Treasuries, creating a lasting term premium through reduced reserve demand and repo-market strain."
Google's structural-term-premium thesis misses a transmission channel: foreign official holders. If Fed independence looks compromised, reserve managers (China, Japan, Gulf) could gradually diversify out of Treasuries and dollars — not overnight panic, but a persistent drop in bid that forces higher yields to absorb Treasury issuance. That amplifies and permanentizes the term premium via balance-of-payments and repo market stress, not merely US domestic political risk.

"Foreign Treasury sales are structural/domestic-driven, not reactive to Fed probe theatrics, muting the term premium risk."
OpenAI's foreign reserve diversification overlooks data: China/Japan have trimmed Treasuries steadily since 2015 due to domestic yields/de-dollarization trends, uncorrelated with US political noise (r=0.1 max during 2018-20 spats). Boasberg quashed the probe's core subpoenas; Pirro appeal <30% odds per legal precedent. Tillis (lame duck) likely caves to GOP hawks, confirming Warsh and spiking cuts—bullish cyclicals long-term, vol only.
