Body
Viral claims of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s resignation emerged from a fake letter circulating on social media. The Federal Reserve has issued no statements confirming the change, and key channels remain silent on such developments.
Senator Mike Lee’s posting of the letter added to the speculation, though he later admitted he could not verify its authenticity and subsequently deleted it.
Donald’s Trump’s known desire for Powell’s resignation heightens public scrutiny of Powell’s leadership.
Despite the rumors, major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH showed only routine volatility. The lack of official confirmation kept asset shifts stable, with no unusual activities detected in institutional dashboards.
Mohamed El-Erian insightfully remarked on Powell’s position:
“If Powell stays, he faces unrelenting pressure that undermines Fed independence; voluntary resignation could … stem the tide and limit further damage.”
If the resignation were real, historical precedents suggest a potential impact across risk assets. However, in the absence of confirmation, financial markets and regulatory bodies report no significant changes.
