⚡ Our Insight:
The market's core concern is institutional integrity. Any perceived threat to the Fed's independence directly impacts investor confidence in monetary policy stability—a cornerstone of financial markets. The sharp rise in gold and muted equity reaction outside the U.S. highlight a targeted risk-off move rather than a broad panic. While political noise may create short-term volatility, the long-term market trajectory will still hinge on actual economic data and the Fed's policy path. However, sustained political pressure on the Fed remains a key tail risk for 2026.
