Trump’s attacks on Powell signal more than a feud—they hint at a 2026 Fed shakeup. With SCOTUS rulings pending and political pressure rising, firms should prep for 100–150 bps in rate cuts, legal volatility, and a politicized Fed. Central bank independence is now a risk factor.

The U.S. offers tariff exemptions to allies that curb China’s trade reach. Firms face pressure to shift supply chains and reduce Chinese inputs. A coalition-based strategy replaces bilateral deals, raising compliance risks for companies straddling both markets.
