Fed Chair Jerome Powell broke his silence after federal prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into him.

He said the threat of charges is the result of the Fed setting rates based on its own assessment of what serves the public, not the preferences of the President.

This is the first time Powell has responded directly after more than a year of avoiding comments on Trump’s attacks.

Markets reacted immediately.
Stock index futures fell more than 0.5% following his statement.

The timing matters, with the Fed expected to pause rate cuts again on January 28.

With roughly six months left in his term, Powell is now openly framing the situation as pressure on Fed independence.

The clash between politics and monetary policy is back in focus, and volatility is likely to follow.

Iran's Rial Hits Record Lows Amid Escalating Nationwide Unrest

The Iranian rial continues its sharp decline in the free market, trading at approximately 1.45 million IRR per USD (remittance/open market rates around 1,455,000–1,457,000 IRR/USD), reflecting ongoing economic pressure from sanctions, inflation, and recent geopolitical tensions fueling nationwide anti-regime protests.

Key Events of the Week


📅 Monday

Markets react to Trump’s call for a 10% credit card rate cap

Trump proposed a one year cap on credit card interest rates at 10%, effective January 20. Credit card stocks have not yet priced this in due to the weekend gap. Either issuers absorb a margin hit or large scale card cancellations follow. With elections approaching, mass cancellations look politically unlikely, keeping pressure on lenders.

📅 Tuesday

US CPI Inflation (December)
Key driver for rates and USD. Upside surprises support yields. Softer data supports equities and risk assets.

US New Home Sales (October)
Housing demand check as elevated mortgage rates continue to weigh on affordability.

📅 Wednesday

US PPI Inflation (November)
Wholesale inflation data that can confirm or challenge CPI trends.

US Supreme Court tariff ruling expected
Markets are watching closely. Any ruling tied to Trump era tariffs could quickly spill into FX, rates, and equities.

📅 Thursday

Philly Fed Manufacturing Index (January)
Early signal for manufacturing momentum. Often volatile.
