Trump vs. Powell: pressure on Fed mounts

Donald Trump ratcheted up his criticism against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, once again calling for an immediate interest rate cut. This renewed political pressure adds to the tensions surrounding the Fed, which is maintaining a cautious stance for now.

The market reaction was muted, with major U.S. indices posting mixed results. Investors continue to wait for clearer signals from the Federal Reserve and upcoming economic data.

Political pressure mounts, yet markets retain upside potential

Trump's comments and shaky trade agenda continue to fuel market jitters. Investors are gradually shifting towards safe-haven assets in response to heightened volatility.

Still, analysts maintain a moderately optimistic view on the outlook for the S&P 500. If the broader macroeconomic backdrop remains stable, the index could resume gains in the coming weeks.
