ChainCatcher news, according to Politico, President Donald Trump is angry with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for showing no signs of a rate cut in the near future. In a Truth Social post released on Thursday morning, Trump wrote that the "sooner he leaves, the better!"But for now, Powell's position seems relatively secure.Trump considered firing Powell during his first term—a move that is legally controversial—and if he attempts to do so again, it could exacerbate market instability. The markets have already become turbulent due to recent tariff shocks. Two individuals close to the White House revealed that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has emphasized this point multiple times within the White House, and they requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the discussions. Trump himself is also aware of the gravity of the situation. Investor confidence that the Federal Reserve will make decisions based on economic trends rather than short-term political pressure is key to maintaining the U.S.'s reputation in the global financial system.Allies within the White House believe that Trump's post on Thursday morning is more about trying to undermine Powell's position and casting him as a scapegoat for future economic issues, rather than an immediate move to fire him. Of course, nothing is ever certain with Trump; his allies also caution that he could change his mind in an instant and seriously pursue the idea of firing Powell.A White House spokesperson responded to related questions by stating that Trump's post on Truth Social should be taken as the standard. The U.S. Treasury did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Powell should have cut rates long ago like the European Central Bank, but even now he should be cutting rates. Terminate Powell's tenure as soon as possible!"

ChainCatcher news, according to the Financial Times, Trump's repeatedly changing tariff policies have pushed exchange rate volatility to multi-year highs and boosted demand for foreign exchange hedging products at a time when companies are struggling to adapt to market fluctuations.According to JPMorgan's G7 and emerging markets exchange rate volatility index, exchange rate volatility has surged in recent days to levels seen during the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse in March 2023. Bank and multinational executives have stated that the uncertainty surrounding Trump's tariffs has created more demand for foreign exchange hedging products to offset the impact of sudden exchange rate fluctuations on global business operations.Nathan Venkataraman Swamy, head of Asia-Pacific foreign exchange trading at Citigroup, stated that since Trump's election as U.S. president in November last year, demand for hedging products has accelerated due to uncertainty in U.S. trade policy. Swamy noted, "In February, trading activity in many parts of Asia slowed due to the Lunar New Year holiday, but trading volumes rebounded in March, with strong corporate hedging activity."

ChainCatcher news, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated on Wednesday that the market's expectation that the Fed will intervene to calm volatility may be misguided. When asked whether the Fed would intervene in response to the sharp decline in the stock market, Fed Chairman Powell said, "My answer is no, but I will provide an explanation." Speaking at a conference in Chicago, Powell said, "I think the market is digesting the current situation, and the market is dealing with a lot of uncertainty, which means volatility."Powell noted that it is understandable for the market to encounter difficulties given the significant changes in President Trump's tariff policy. He also explained that it is difficult to know in real-time what is causing the trouble. Powell stated, "I have had a lot of experience with significant market volatility, such as in the bond market. Typically, people form an idea, and two months later, they look back and realize that their initial view was completely wrong. Therefore, it is too early to determine what is happening in the market now." For the time being, he pointed out that part of the market turmoil stems from hedge funds reducing leverage or debt, adding, "In the short term, you may continue to see volatility in the market."
