Trump dismisses board member Cook, Fed's independence is hit again
Jin10 data reported on August 26th that U.S. President Trump signed an executive order to dismiss Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Cook, causing the dollar to fall due to further sustained pressure on the independence of the Fed. In the forex market, non-dollar currencies surged against the dollar, and at the same time, gold prices soared. Trump is doing everything he can to push the Fed to cut interest rates. If he successfully fires Cook, he will try to replace Cook with a "yes man" who will obey Trump's commands. If Trump's move is indeed successful, it would also allow the governors nominated by Trump to hold a majority position on the Federal Reserve Board.
