If Powell says I’m not going to cut rates he better hire a lawyer because Trump is going to fire him

Описание: What happens when the Federal Reserve collides with political pressure from the White House? Jim Bianco, President of Bianco Research, joins Maggie Lake to break down the Fed–Trump showdown, the risks of premature rate cuts, and why long-term yields could rise even if the Fed eases.

Bianco explains why weak jobs numbers don’t mean recession, how tariffs could reignite inflation, and why markets must adjust to a new era of lower returns across stocks, bonds, and cash — the “4-5-6 market.” He also shares his views on:
· Bonds & interest rates: Why cutting rates could backfire
· Stocks & valuations: Retail investors driving momentum, risks for Mag-7
· AI & growth: Short-term hype vs. long-term productivity gains
· Global shift: Why Europe looks cheap — but still can’t rival U.S. tech
· Crypto: Ethereum and altcoins gaining ground on Bitcoin
· Gold & silver: Precious metals making a strong comeback
