Nobody wants the Fed chief
fired After an already sustained descent to the stock exchange prices fell sharply in the United States and Japan, on Christmas eve suddenly to the Ground – only two days to obtain a daily record plus. For example, the Dow Jones, which rose by five per cent. The downward trend of the high jump did not change much – at present, they are stock prices in the United States and Japan on the same level as in the autumn of 2017, the exchanges in Frankfurt and London fell back to the autumn of 2016. In the development of, not only, but also, Donald Trump complicit.
The investors calmed down now, as US Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin had explained that no one had the intention to dismiss Jerome Powell, chief of the US Central Bank (Fed). The rumor hooked up, because Trump had been criticized for weeks via Twitter, the interest rate policy of the Central Bank’s harsh. Supposedly to Trump even asked whether it is allowed, can the Fed chief throw out. It is an example would be a loose step. Usually, the Central banks do not act only in the USA regardless of the government, Trumps incessant criticism of Powell (“clueless”, “out of control”) is considered by many investors, therefore, no concern about interference.

How long the will last is unclear, but probably into next year, which is weighing on the markets.
The only problem our economy has is the Fed. They don’t have a feel for the Market, they don’t understand the necessary Trade Wars or Distribution of Dollars or even Democrat Shutdowns over Borders. The Fed is like a powerful golfer who can’t score because he has no touch he can’t putt!
