World Affairs In Context

In today’s video, we break down a major story shaking markets: Donald Trump’s attempt to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.

A move raising serious concerns about central bank independence and the future of monetary policy in the United States.

Here's what we cover:

*Why Trump’s move to oust Cook could reshape the Federal Reserve Board
*How the U.S. dollar reacted, slipping against major currencies
*A spike in the 30-year Treasury yield to 4.93% - and what that tells us about inflation fears
*Market speculation about a September Fed rate cut
*The widening yield curve and what it means for long-term U.S. debt
*S&P Global’s warning on potential U.S. credit rating pressure
*Legal implications of Trump’s attempt and Cook’s refusal to resign
*Broader impact on global markets, including rising UK bond yields
*Insights from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and future expectations for Fed independence

This political interference could have massive consequences for the U.S. economy, interest rates, inflation expectations, and national debt.
