Powell's curtain call countdown! The battle for the Fed leadership tears the market apart, Bitcoin and gold surge as safe havens? Let's talk about it!


The Fed is about to change! In January 2026, Powell’s two-term tenure will end, and this head without an economics degree is about to step down, yet the White House has yet to propose a successor, and both parties in Congress are in disarray, causing global financial markets to be thrown into chaos.
The battle for leadership has already reached a fever pitch! The popular candidates Waller and Harker are completely at odds: Waller insists on high interest rates to combat inflation, stating that there is no urgency for rate cuts; Harker advocates for moderate rate cuts to stabilize the economy, fearing a hard landing. The market has taken sides directly—hedge funds are betting on Waller, while pension funds support Harker, with funds hesitant to act recklessly in uncertainty. The political game adds to the complexity; the Senate Democrats hold only a two-seat lead, and Republicans are vocal about wanting the president to make the selection, aiming to turn the Fed into a political tool, making the nomination battle destined for chaos.
Even more deadly is Trump's pressure! He has repeatedly criticized the Fed's policies, and if the new leader is not to his liking, it is highly likely that he will repeat the public accusations of 2018, and the independence of the Fed is facing severe challenges. This wave of uncertainty has triggered a chain reaction: under the tide of the dollar, if high interest rates in the U.S. persist, the debt repayment pressure in emerging markets will sharply increase; China is expanding currency swaps to cope with fluctuations, while gold and Bitcoin are skyrocketing in price, and institutions are flocking to seek safety.
Absurdly, the investment bank's AI prediction model is causing chaos—after analyzing candidates' speeches and personnel changes, as long as the AI favors someone, the market reacts in advance, forcing candidates to remain silent and making the situation even more confusing.
