The dollar has dropped to a three-year low following rumors that President Trump may announce Jerome Powell's successor sooner than the traditional timeline. Trump's longstanding criticism of Powell, particularly over interest rate policies, has intensified his desire to appoint a replacement. The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump might name a successor as soon as late summer. This potential shift could significantly impact monetary policy expectations and undercut Powell's position during the final months of his term, heightening financial market volatility.
The announcement of a successor to Jerome Powell could undermine his authority, especially considering Trump's frustration with the Fed's refusal to lower interest rates.
Trump has voiced disdain for Powell, calling him very dumb, highlighting the tension between the president and the Fed chair amid economic concerns.
