Summary
The Supreme Court prepares to decide if President Trump can fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook — a case that could redefine the Fed’s independence. Trump’s August attempt to oust her over alleged mortgage misstatements was blocked by lower courts, and now the justices must determine whether “for cause” removals apply to Fed governors — a legal gray area with global implications. If Cook wins, it could shield Fed Chair Kevin Warsh from political interference, allowing him to steer policy without fear of dismissal. Meanwhile, stubborn inflation forces the Fed to consider rate hikes — directly contradicting Trump’s wishes — while Warsh’s upcoming global speech will test his new, less transparent approach. The world watches, because U.S. monetary policy still moves markets everywhere. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
