Trump Shakes Fed: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Edge Higher After Move to Oust Cook
Political pressure meets monetary policy—and markets barely blink.
Presidential Power Play
Trump's latest Fed maneuver sends ripples through financial circles, yet major indices hold steady. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all notch cautious gains as investors weigh institutional independence against executive influence.
Market's Muted Reaction
Traders shrug off the drama, focusing instead on earnings data and inflation signals. No panic selling, no euphoric buying—just another day where politics takes a backseat to profits. Because nothing says 'stable economy' like trying to fire the referees mid-game.
Wall Street's verdict? So long as the money printer stays warm, who's driving matters less than where we're going.
