Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in gold prices, surpassing $3,400 per ounce, is attributed to rising uncertainty in global trade and the weakening of the US dollar and bond yields, leading to increased safe-haven demand for gold [1][2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Gold's price increase is seen as a systematic response to global macroeconomic instability rather than a temporary fluctuation, with expectations of failed US-EU trade negotiations acting as a micro trigger [2][4]. - The Federal Reserve's potential changes and speculation about its restructuring are contributing to market uncertainty, which is favorable for gold [2][3]. - The demand for gold is shifting from being primarily driven by the US dollar's fundamentals to being influenced by global economic differentiation and trust issues among countries [2][4]. Group 2: Central Bank Behavior - Central banks are increasingly purchasing gold as a proactive response to the instability of foreign currencies, with significant growth in gold demand from central banks, particularly in emerging markets [5][6]. - The global central bank gold purchasing trend is expected to continue, with many central banks still having low gold reserves relative to their foreign exchange reserves, indicating room for growth [5][6]. - The structural demand for gold from central banks is seen as a long-term trend, with the current low allocation of gold in reserves suggesting substantial future increases [6][8]. Group 3: Future Projections - Analysts predict that gold prices could reach between $3,600 and $4,500 per ounce in the medium to long term, driven by systemic changes in the global monetary structure and increasing distrust in the dollar [7][8]. - The transition of gold from an inflation hedge to a systemic protection asset reflects a significant shift in its valuation logic, with expectations of continued price increases as global credit systems are reassessed [7][9]. - The long-term bullish outlook for gold is supported by multiple structural factors, including the reconfiguration of the global monetary trust structure and the ongoing trend of de-dollarization among emerging market central banks [8][9].

Group 1 - President Trump has publicly criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Powell multiple times, indicating dissatisfaction with his performance and suggesting the possibility of dismissal [1][3] - Trump's economic advisor Hassett claimed that the President has the authority to fire Powell, citing mismanagement of a renovation project that saw costs rise from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion [1] - Powell defended the renovation as necessary for safety and emphasized the constitutional protection of the Federal Reserve's independence [1] Group 2 - Trump has not planned to fire Powell but retains the option, criticizing Powell for not lowering interest rates [3] - Current economic data does not support a rate cut, and Trump's tariffs are causing price increases in consumer goods, which could lead to inflation exceeding 5% by 2026 [3] - The Federal Reserve prioritizes stabilizing the U.S. economy and the dollar over political pressures, as yielding to such pressures could undermine its credibility [5] Group 3 - Powell's resistance to political pressure is seen as a defense of professional rationality against short-sighted political demands [8] - Trump's motivation for requesting rate cuts is to reduce interest payments on the national debt of $36 trillion, which could create a false economic prosperity ahead of midterm elections [8] - The independence of the Federal Reserve is crucial for global economic stability, and any political interference could lead to significant financial repercussions [8]

Group 1 - The core issue of Trump's recent criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is the budget overrun of the Fed's headquarters renovation project, which increased from an initial budget of $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion due to rising material costs and construction delays [3][4] - Trump's administration is using this budget overrun as a basis to accuse Powell of "misusing public funds" and has called for a congressional investigation [3] - Legal experts are debating the validity of Trump's threats to dismiss Powell, as the Federal Reserve Act stipulates that the President can only remove the Fed Chairman for "legal reasons" such as misconduct or crime, and historically no President has successfully dismissed a Fed Chairman [4] Group 2 - Trump's tariff policies are significantly influencing Federal Reserve decision-making, with the Fed's Beige Book indicating that businesses across the U.S. are facing "moderate to significant cost pressures" due to tariffs, particularly in manufacturing and construction [5] - Despite market expectations for a 25 basis point rate cut in September, Powell indicated that the Fed would have acted sooner if not for the inflationary pressures caused by tariffs [5] - The rising inflation pressures are causing the Fed to delay rate cuts, which has led to a rebound in the dollar index and an increase in U.S. Treasury yields, putting short-term pressure on gold prices [5] Group 3 - The gold market is experiencing a tug-of-war between "safe-haven demand" and "policy expectations," with spot gold fluctuating between $3,300 and $3,370 per ounce [6] - Trump's pressure on the Fed has triggered a chain reaction in financial markets, with U.S. stock indices experiencing volatility due to rumors of Powell's potential dismissal [8] - Concerns from Wall Street executives about the implications of interfering with the Fed's independence highlight the potential long-term risks to the dollar's status as a global reserve currency [8]

Group 1 - The selection process for the next Federal Reserve Chairman has officially begun, with Treasury Secretary Mnuchin indicating that there are many excellent candidates both inside and outside the Fed [1] - President Trump has expressed extreme dissatisfaction with current Chairman Powell, advocating for interest rates to be lowered below 1%, claiming that a 3% annual rate cut could save the U.S. trillions [1][3] - Mnuchin warned that if Powell remains on the board after his term ends in May 2026, it could lead to market chaos, emphasizing the tradition of a complete exit for Fed Chairs to avoid creating a "shadow chairman" [3] Group 2 - The independence of the Federal Reserve is under significant threat, as White House economic advisor Hassett publicly stated that the President has the authority to dismiss the Fed Chairman, politicizing the Fed's operations [3][6] - Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, publicly warned against political interference in the Fed, highlighting the critical importance of its independence [6] - The Trump administration is reportedly considering announcing a successor to Powell as early as September or October, with a list of potential candidates that includes hawkish former Fed governors and current economic advisors [6][7] Group 3 - The potential dismissal of Powell could undermine the century-long tradition of Fed independence, which is foundational to global trust in the U.S. dollar [7] - The ongoing political pressure on the Fed, including scrutiny over a $700 million renovation cost, poses unprecedented challenges to the institution's autonomy [7] - The current political dynamics could reshape financial regulations and threaten the stability of the dollar's dominance in the global market [7]

Core Viewpoint - The selection process for the next Federal Reserve Chairman has officially begun, reflecting uncertainties in U.S. governance and its potential impact on global capital flows and economic policies [1][2]. Group 1: Federal Reserve's Role and Independence - The Federal Reserve's benchmark status in the global central banking system is attributed to its relative independence, which is now being challenged by political pressures [2][4]. - Recent years have seen the Fed adopt unconventional monetary policies, including significant money supply increases and low interest rates, which have been perceived as aligned with White House economic policies [2][4]. Group 2: Political Influence on Monetary Policy - The current political landscape has led to a conflict between the Fed's aggressive interest rate hikes to combat inflation and the White House's desire for a more compliant Fed Chair to stimulate economic growth ahead of midterm elections [2][3]. - Historical precedents exist where political pressures have directly influenced monetary policy, with the current situation being more overt and direct than in the past [3]. Group 3: Implications for Global Markets - The uncertainty surrounding the Fed Chair selection has implications beyond the U.S., affecting global markets through the dollar's dominance and U.S. Treasury yields [4]. - A potential departure of Chair Powell could lead to significant market reactions, including a sell-off of the dollar and U.S. bonds, particularly if policy adjustments are driven by political needs rather than economic fundamentals [4]. Group 4: Economic and Political Challenges - The U.S. economy faces challenges such as high debt, slow growth, and persistent inflation, complicating the effectiveness of traditional economic stimulus measures [4]. - Political polarization and short-term electoral considerations hinder the ability to formulate long-term economic policies, increasing the challenges to the Fed's independence [4].

Group 1 - The inflation caused by tariffs is becoming evident, leading to a decrease in market expectations for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, while the possibility of Chairman Powell being dismissed is increasing [1][2][4] - On July 15, U.S. Treasury Secretary Besant announced that the selection process for the next Federal Reserve Chairman has officially begun, with many qualified candidates both inside and outside the Federal Reserve [4][8] - The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June rose by 2.7% year-on-year, exceeding market expectations of 2.6%, indicating that tariff-induced inflation is starting to show [2][11] Group 2 - If Powell is dismissed, it could lead to significant market turmoil, potentially worse than the Nixon-era interventions in the 1970s, with both the dollar and U.S. bond markets facing severe declines [2][10] - Predictions indicate that if Powell is removed, the dollar could weaken significantly, with estimates suggesting a potential drop of 3% to 4% in the trade-weighted dollar index and a rise of 30 to 40 basis points in 10-year Treasury yields [10][11] - Historical examples, such as the dismissal of Turkey's central bank governor, illustrate the potential for severe currency depreciation and market instability following political interference in central banking [12]
