The current administration faces a tricky balancing act: inflation remains the electorate's top concern. Here's the catch—pushing for ultra-loose monetary policy might offer short-term relief, but it risks stoking prices even higher. That's political poison.
And there's another layer. If the Federal Reserve's independence gets undermined, markets won't stay quiet. Investors thrive on predictability and institutional credibility. Mess with that, and you're looking at capital flight, bond market chaos, and a confidence crisis that no stimulus package can fix. It's a dangerous game when policy meets politics at the central bank's doorstep.

Be careful walking a tightrope; it's hard to achieve both ends.

Blindly betting on the Fed's liquidity injection will definitely lead to losses
