Trump and allies insist on changing Fed's structure despite Supreme Court decision

Financial Post

US President Donald Trump and his inner circle have revived their aggressive efforts to transform the current structure and leadership of the US Federal Reserve (Fed).

This move comes immediately after the US Supreme Court refused this week to remove a legal obstacle that would have allowed for the removal of Fed Governor Lisa Cook, marking a new phase in the struggle to seize control of the administration.

The Administration aims to create a more political influence in the bank's decision-making mechanisms by weakening the Fed's independence, which plays a critical role in determining interest rate policies in the fight against inflation.

Financial circles and political observers are expressing concerns about the potential disruptive effects of such an intervention on global economic stability, while there is great uncertainty as to whether the Fed's traditional autonomous structure can be preserved.

This ongoing legal and political tension is set to be a decisive factor in shaping the Fed's future monetary policy decisions and raises questions as to whether America's economic management style will undergo a radical change.
