FAQ

Why Bearish?

The direct involvement of politics in the Fed's decisions raises significant concerns. Historical precedent shows when central bank independence is threatened, asset prices tend to depress.

How important is it?

The Federal Reserve's ability to manage monetary policy independently is crucial to market stability. Any perceived threats to this can prompt immediate negative reactions in major indices like the S&P 500.

Why Short Term?

Immediate market reactions have already caused a drop in stock prices. These concerns are likely to persist as long as political pressure remains.
