The feds job isn't to save the stock market, it's to keep inflation and unemployment low. Lowering rates now does nothing for either.

TBH JPowell is sane. I respect him for not bowing down to that idiot.

A journalist asked him about a trump quote and Powell literally said ā€œI donā€™t respond to comments made by politiciansā€ and then reiterated the Feds mandate

What a boss.

I mean I was confused why Biden kept him on but he has proven to know what he is doing. He has lowered inflation without a recession.

Lmao the Pres doesn't have control to dismiss the Fed chair. They can nominate in conjunction with the Senate.

Edit: my bad forgot his term was up in 2022 and Biden could have replaced.

Biden had the opportunity to appoint someone else in 2022, but instead he reappointed JPow. It was about dismissing him

Exactly. They have a ā€œdual mandateā€ but itā€™s propaganda. Their real mandate is to maintain high asset prices on behalf of the capitalist class.
