Coin Bureau - The Fed Shake-Up That Could Crash Markets

"Since the start of the year, Trump has been talking about how he wants to control the Fed, and many believe that he will succeed if he successfully picks the next Fed chair in May 2026. 

However, this isn’t correct, because the Fed chair doesn’t control the Fed. The Fed is controlled by a much larger group of almost 20 people, all of whom need to be influenced to achieve control.

Believe it or not, but Trump seems to be making progress towards controlling this group. That’s why today we’re going to tell you everything you need to know, and why it could be bearish. Enjoy!"

The video discusses a potential shift in the Federal Reserve's independence as President Trump prepares to appoint a new chair in 2026, marking a significant stage in a long-term cycle of increasing political influence over the central bank. While media attention often focuses on the chair, the narrator emphasizes that true control lies with the twelve members of the Federal Open Market Committee, where Trump has been actively attempting to replace perceived rebels with loyalists through firings and appointments. Despite these efforts to gain a loyalist majority, the video notes that structural safeguards like staggered fourteen-year terms make total control difficult.

Furthermore, a shift toward Trump-aligned policy might not automatically lead to market-boosting measures; instead, it could result in higher long-term interest rates if the Fed aligns its bond buying with Treasury issuance or uses currency swap lines as geopolitical leverage. Ultimately, the markets are expected to react less to specific policy changes and more to the perceived loss of the Fed's credibility and independence, which could introduce significant volatility and bearish pressure.
