The Stable Genius Report

• Jerome Powell is costing the Country hundreds of billions of dollars.
• Jerome Powell is one of the dumbest and most destructive people in Government.
• The Fed Board is complicit.
• Europe has had 10 interest rate cuts, while the US has had none.
• US interest rates should be 2.5 points lower.
• Lower interest rates would save billions on Biden’s short-term debt.
• The US has low inflation.
• The current Fed policy is an 'American Disgrace'.

The post directly and aggressively criticizes the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy, advocating for significant rate cuts. Such strong rhetoric from a prominent political figure and former president can introduce considerable uncertainty regarding the independence and future direction of monetary policy, potentially impacting investor sentiment, borrowing costs for corporations, and the overall economic outlook, thus significantly influencing the S&P 500.

The post focuses exclusively on domestic economic policy (monetary policy and government debt) and does not contain any references to international conflict, threats, ultimatums, or military actions.

• Commodities: The call for significantly lower interest rates implies a weaker U.S. Dollar. A weaker dollar typically makes dollar-denominated commodities like Oil (WTI) and Gold (XAU) cheaper for international buyers, potentially increasing demand. Additionally, lower rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold. Therefore, both Oil and Gold prices would likely see upward pressure.
• Currencies (Forex): The strong advocacy for 2.5 points lower interest rates, a significantly more dovish stance than market expectations, would lead to a substantial weakening of the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY). The dollar would not be treated as a safe-haven asset in this scenario, as the proposed policy would decrease its yield attractiveness and potentially undermine confidence in monetary policy stability.
• Global Equities: European (e.g., STOXX 600) and Asian (e.g., Nikkei) markets would likely experience mixed sentiment. A weaker U.S. Dollar could be mildly positive for non-US exporters and economies, as it makes their goods more competitive in the US and potentially eases dollar-denominated debt burdens. However, the underlying rhetoric of political pressure on a central bank could introduce broader market uncertainty, leading to cautious but potentially net positive sentiment if the prospect of lower global rates becomes more real.
• Bonds (Fixed Income): A 'flight to safety' into U.S. Treasuries is not the primary driver in this context. Instead, if the market perceives a significant likelihood of such aggressive rate cuts (e.g., in a future administration), U.S. Treasury yields would fall sharply across the curve, especially at the short to medium end, to price in these lower expected future interest rates. This would reflect a fundamental shift in monetary policy expectations rather than solely a risk-off move.
