President Donald Trump's relentless criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is a calculated move to weaken the U.S. dollar, according to Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research.
What Happened: Trump's attacks on Powell aim to pressure the Fed chair into cutting interest rates or resigning, allowing Trump to appoint a loyalist who would cut interest rates faster. This comes as he wants to devalue the dollar to boost U.S. exports and curb imports.
"Pounding Powell = Pounding the Dollar," Yardeni noted in his QuickTakes newsletter, highlighting Trump's strategy to achieve a weaker currency.
Yardeni explains that Trump has long favored a weaker dollar, and his current tactics target Powell's reluctance to lower the federal funds rate swiftly.
Powell's term as Fed chair ends May 15, 2026, but he could remain a Fed governor until Jan. 31, 2028.
However, with Fed Governor Adriana D. Kugler's term expiring Jan. 31, 2026, Trump could appoint an outsider like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who has openly lobbied for the role.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46186509/scott-bessent-on-replacing-powell-as-fed-chair-i-will-do-what-the-president-wants-plays-down-shadow-chair-speculations">Bessent previously suggested</a> a "shadow Fed chair" to undermine Powell's influence, an idea Yardeni called "terrible" for creating "market noise."
Despite Trump's pressure, Powell emphasized that any rate cut at the July 29-30 Federal Open Market Committee meeting would be data-dependent. However, any new Fed chair would need to persuade the 11 other FOMC voting members to align with their policy, a challenge that could temper Trump's ambitions.

Why It Matters: According to TradingView data, the U.S. Dollar Index Spot has fallen by 10.85% on a year-to-date basis.
With this YTD performance, the dollar has logged its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/forex/25/06/46175116/weaker-dollar-stocks-beneficiaries-foreign-revenue">worst first-half performance</a> since 1991, marking five straight months of declines, a streak not seen since 2017. 
Chatham House expert David Lubin, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44858165/policy-push-vs-market-pull-dollar-under-pressure-as-reserve-currency-may-be-called-into-question-amid-tariff-turmoil">in a note from April</a>, explained that this &#8220;policy push&#8221; from Trump‘s administration aims to weaken the dollar permanently against other currencies, hoping to reduce the trade deficit and attract manufacturers to the U.S.
However, Lubin strongly cautioned against this approach, arguing that &#8220;If the international monetary system cannot rely on the dollar's full convertibility, or its availability in a crisis, it is entering unknown territory.&#8221;
&#8220;Undermining the dollar's global status would not only transmit huge amounts of additional uncertainty to the global economy, but would be a needless act of self-harm for the U.S.,&#8221; he added.
Price Action: After hitting fresh records on Friday and Monday, on Tuesday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, ended lower.

President Donald Trump escalated trade tensions with Japan on Tuesday, threatening to impose tariffs of &#8220;30% or 35%&#8221; if no agreement is reached before the July 9 deadline.
What Happened: The threat represents a significant increase from Japan&#8217;s current 10% tariff rate on most exports, implemented during Trump&#8217;s April 2 &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; when he imposed duties on trading partners worldwide, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgeqrd0e9j7o">reported</a> the BBC.
Japanese automakers, including Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), currently face 25% tariffs on vehicles and parts, while steel and aluminum imports carry 50% duties.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve dealt with Japan. I&#8217;m not sure we&#8217;re going to make a deal. I doubt it,&#8221; Trump said, casting doubt on reaching an agreement before the 90-day negotiation window expires.
Japan&#8217;s automotive sector, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46109160/japans-top-trade-negotiator-calls-trumps-25-auto-tariffs-unacceptable-amid-ongoing-talks">produces 3.3 million vehicles annually</a> in the U.S. and has invested over $60 billion domestically, faces mounting pressure. In June, Chief Trade Negotiator Ryosei Akazawa called the 25% auto tariffs &#8220;unacceptable,&#8221; emphasizing the industry&#8217;s contribution to 2.3 million American jobs.
Toyota has already announced $200 vehicle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46109160/japans-top-trade-negotiator-calls-trumps-25-auto-tariffs-unacceptable-amid-ongoing-talks">price increases starting in July</a>, directly attributing the hikes to tariff pressures. The company exports 1.67 million vehicles to the U.S. annually while manufacturing locally.

Why It Matters: Japan&#8217;s government reportedly responded with a 900 billion yen ($6.3 billion) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45609927/trump-tariff-countermeasures-japan-to-reportedly-roll-out-6-3-billion-emergency-fund-stimulus-as-early-as-tuesday">emergency stimulus package to counter tariff impacts</a>. The comprehensive relief program could reach 2.8 trillion yen ($19.7 billion), including local government spending, with 600 billion yen allocated for utility subsidies and 300 billion yen supporting distressed businesses.
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba&#8216;s administration faces pressure as parliamentary elections approach. Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Kazuhiko Aoki declined to comment on Trump&#8217;s latest threats Wednesday, stating Japan doesn&#8217;t respond to every U.S. official remark.
The escalation contrasts with Trump&#8217;s recent success with the United Kingdom, the only country securing preferential treatment under his tariff regime. The Trump-Starmer trade deal reduced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46163327/trump-starmer-trade-deal-kicks-in-uk-luxury-cars-get-10-tariff-rolls-royce-engines-fly-duty-free-into-us">UK auto tariffs from 27.5% to 10% and eliminated aerospace duties</a>, benefiting companies like Rolls-Royce Holdings.
Trump originally pledged to sign 90 trade agreements during the tariff pause, but has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46163327/trump-starmer-trade-deal-kicks-in-uk-luxury-cars-get-10-tariff-rolls-royce-engines-fly-duty-free-into-us">completed only the UK deal</a>.

Trump Threatens 35% Tariffs On Japan As Trade Deadline Looms: 'Not Sure We're Going To Make A Deal'

Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani blasted President Donald Trump on Tuesday for what he called an authoritarian threat to arrest and deport him if he blocks federal immigration raids in New York City.
What Happened: "The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported — not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city," Mamdani said in a statement.
&#8220;His statements don't just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation.&#8221;

Trump issued the warning hours earlier at the opening of a migrant detention center in Ochopee, Fla., nicknamed "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46186965/trump-to-visit-alligator-alcatraz-migrant-detention-center-this-week-amid-deportation-push-report">Alligator Alcatraz</a>." Asked about Mamdani's vow to "stop masked ICE agents from deporting our neighbors," the president replied, "Well, then we'll have to arrest him." He added, "Look, we don't need a communist in this country, but if we have one, I'm going to be watching over them very carefully on behalf of the nation."

Gov. Kathy Hochul condemned Trump's threat, saying on X, "If you threaten to unlawfully go after one of our neighbors, you're picking a fight with 20 million New Yorkers — starting with me."

Why It Matters: Mamdani was born in Uganda to Indian parents and became a U.S. citizen in 2018. His upset primary victory became official Tuesday when ranked-choice tallies showed him defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo 56% to 44%, propelling the self-described democratic socialist into a four-way November race that also includes incumbent Eric Adams, now running as an independent.
Trump had last week <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46162859/trump-threatens-to-cut-federal-funding-for-nyc-if-zohran-mamdani-doesnt-do-the-right-thing-as-future-mayor-if-he-does-get-in-im-going-to-be-president">issued a warning</a> that New York City's federal funding could be in jeopardy if Mamdani doesn't do the "right thing" if he wins the mayoral election. He also warned that any future mayor of New York must "behave themselves," or else the federal government will impose severe financial consequences.
Mamdani's victory in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor has sparked strong political reactions. Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46107353/trump-says-democrats-have-crossed-the-line-with-zohran-mamdani-bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-back-new-york-mayoral-candidates-grassroots-suppo">condemned the win</a> as a sign that the Democratic Party has veered too far left. Despite the criticism, prominent senators such as Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) have thrown their support behind Mamdani, citing his "grassroots" approach.

Zohran Mamdani Hits Back At Trump's Arrest Threats Over Potentially Blocking New York ICE Raids: 'Will Not Accept This Intimidation'

On Wednesday, Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARAA#NASDAQ">PARAA</a>) agreed to pay $16 million to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45676520/is-paramount-offering-millions-to-trump-to-end-60-minutes-lawsuit-report-says-opening-offer-has-been-made">settle a lawsuit filed</a> by President Donald Trump over a "60 Minutes" interview with then–Vice President Kamala Harris, but the company issued no apology or admission of wrongdoing.
What Happened: In a statement, Paramount said, "The settlement does not include a statement of apology or regret" and added that the $16 million would be directed to Trump's future presidential library, not paid to him "directly or indirectly," reported Reuters.
The lawsuit, originally filed in October, alleged that CBS deceptively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44793888/trump-attacks-60-minutes-for-unlawful-and-illegal-behavior-could-president-derail-merger">edited two versions</a> of the Harris interview to make her appear to give contradictory answers about the Israel-Hamas war, thereby favoring the Democratic Party during the election.

Trump initially sought $10 billion in damages, later increasing the claim to $20 billion. The complaint, filed in Texas, accused CBS of violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, a law typically used in consumer cases.
The case entered mediation in April. CBS had previously called the lawsuit "completely without merit" and sought to have it dismissed.
Why It's Important: The settlement follows earlier settlements, including a $15 million payout from ABC News, owned by Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) and a $25 million settlement from Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/43325503/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-pays-trump-25-million-to-settle-lawsuit-over-facebook-instagram-ban-after-jan-6-riot-a-big-year-for-redefining-our-relationships-with-governments">his account suspensions</a>.
The timing also coincides with Paramount's pending <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40754610/paramount-to-be-controlled-by-worlds-sixth-richest-man-larry-ellison-how-helping-his-son-la">$8.4 billion merger</a> with Skydance Media, which requires FCC approval.
Price Action: As of this writing, Paramount's Class A shares were unchanged in after-hours trading at $22.70, while Class B shares slipped 0.08% to $13.15, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that Paramount continues to show a steady upward trend over the short, medium and long term. However, despite its strong momentum, the stock's quality ranking remains relatively lower. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional performance details can be found here</a>.

However, it did not provide any further details about what the products could look like or if the products would be stripped-down versions of cars that are already available or new altogether.

Why It Matters: The news comes as Tesla has been facing declining sales for some time. Most recently, new data showcased that Tesla sales fell <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46189042/elon-musk-led-teslas-european-woes-worsen-with-sales-down-over-60-in-sweden-and-denmark">more than 60%</a> in Sweden and Denmark.
The company's sales figures in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46162850/tesla-sales-in-canada-have-dropped-to-nearly-zero-says-researcher-expects-elon-musk-led-ev-giant-may-report-losses-starting-2026">Canada fell sharply</a>, too, with experts suggesting that the decline could be a result of CEO Elon Musk's political endorsements and close relations with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Elsewhere, veteran investor Gary Black predicted that Tesla's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46212611/gary-black-says-teslas-q2-deliveries-could-be-a-buy-the-news-event-i-believe-tsla-will-miss">Q2 delivery figures would disappoint</a> and fall below Wall Street estimates. He also said that Musk's key aide, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46132042/teslas-q2-sales-going-to-s-says-gary-black-after-tsla-north-america-and-europe-chief-omead-afshars-exit">Omead Afshar's departure</a> from Tesla also confirmed the poor sales figures.

What Happened: The company, known for its collaborative browser-based tools used by major clients such as Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>), reported robust financial growth ahead of its public debut. 
For the year ended December 31, 2024, Figma posted revenue of $749 million, a 48% increase year-over-year, and for the first quarter of 2025, revenue reached $228.2 million, up 46% from the prior year period. The company's compounded annual revenue growth rate over four years stands at 53%.
Figma's net income swung from $737.8 million in 2023—boosted by a $1 billion termination fee from the abandoned Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) merger—to a net loss of $732.1 million in 2024, largely due to one-time stock-based compensation expenses. However, the company returned to profitability in the first quarter of 2025 with net income of $44.9 million. 
Figma's platform is now used by 95% of the Fortune 500 and 78% of the Forbes Global 2000, reflecting its widespread adoption across industries. The company has rapidly expanded its product suite, launching features such as Dev Mode for developers, FigJam for ideation, and new AI-powered tools like Figma Make, which can generate functional prototypes from prompts.

Why It Matters: Its Net Dollar Retention Rate was 134% at the end of 2024 and 132% as of March, indicating strong customer expansion and retention. 
The IPO follows Figma's earlier attempt to be acquired by Adobe for $20 billion, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/23/07/33353200/adobes-game-changing-20-billion-figma-acquisition-under-global-regulatory-microscope">deal blocked by regulatory authorities</a> over antitrust concerns. Figma's most recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38893439/figma-sets-12-5b-valuation-in-new-equity-offering-falling-short-of-adobes-acquisition-offer">private valuation was $12.5 billion</a>, set during a secondary share sale in 2024. Founder and CEO Dylan Field will retain significant voting power post-IPO, due to Figma's multi-class share structure.
Figma's business model is subscription-based, offering tiered plans for individuals, organizations, and enterprises, with pricing tailored to different user roles and workflows. &nbsp;
The company plans to use IPO proceeds for working capital, product development, and potential acquisitions, while repaying certain outstanding indebtedness. Figma does not anticipate paying dividends in the near future.

What happened: Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>)-based Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) soared 50% over the week, becoming the market's biggest gainer. The coin added over $350 million to its capitalization in this period.
The gulf between PENGU and the rest of the market could be gauged by the fact that the second-biggest gainer, Bitcoin Cash (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bch/usd">BCH</a>), could only rise 6.79% over the last week.
Moreover, in the past 24 hours, PENGU was the only meme coin in the green

The rally has been primarily driven by the Canary PENGU ETF filing, a first-of-its-kind investment vehicle that proposes holding PENGU tokens (80-95%) and Pudgy Penguins NFTs (5-15%).&nbsp;

Why Has The Pudgy Penguins Token Shot Up 50% In The Past Week?

A comment made by a lawyer representing Elon Musk&#8217;s social media platform, X ,has ignited a fresh conflict between the tech giant and the Indian government.
What Happened: The lawyer, K. G. Raghavan, representing X, made a contentious statement during a court hearing in India. He stated that every &#8220;Tom, Dick, and Harry&#8221; government official had the authority to issue content takedown orders. This comment was made during a hearing on X&#8217;s challenge to a government-run website, which the company claims is a &#8220;censorship portal&#8221; allowing officials to issue content removal orders, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/x-india-spar-over-lawyers-tom-dick-harry-remark-government-officials-2025-07-01/">reported</a> Reuters.
The Indian government, however, contends that the website is simply a means to promptly inform companies of their due diligence obligations. This remark has further fueled the ongoing dispute between X and the Indian government over content removal requests.

India is a crucial market for Musk&#8217;s various ventures, including X, Starlink, and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). The latter has been preparing to launch in India, with the Model Y already spotted being tested in Mumbai.
Why It Matters: This is not the first time X, previously known as Twitter, has been embroiled in a dispute over content moderation. In 2021, the company was at odds with the Indian government over non-compliance with legal orders to block certain tweets. Although X eventually complied, it remains entangled in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39184541/elon-musk-says-freedom-of-speech-is-worth-fighting-for-after-australia-drops-legal-battle-against-x">court battle</a> related to this move.
Earlier this year, X faced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44601197/massive-data-breach-at-elon-musks-x-reportedly-exposes-data-of-millions-of-accounts-by-far-the-largest-social-media-breach-ever">massive data breach</a> that exposed the data of millions of accounts. This incident also further raises concerns over the security measures in place at X
Meanwhile, Musk&#8217;s other company, Tesla, is gearing up for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44833951/elon-musk-led-teslas-model-y-spotted-testing-in-mumbai-ahead-of-india-debut">India debut</a>, the outcome of this ongoing dispute could have significant implications for Musk&#8217;s business interests in India.

Elon Musk's X Clashes With Indian Government Over 'Censorship Portal': Platform's Lawyer's 'Tom, Dick And Harry' Comment Sparks Dispute

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) CEO Lip-Bu Tan is reportedly evaluating whether to stop marketing the company's costly 18A chipmaking process to outside customers, a move that could signal a major strategic pivot amid mounting financial losses and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45335671/morris-chang-once-talked-about-how-intel-turned-down-his-vision-for-tsmc-fast-forward-to-today-and-the-taiwanese-chipmaker-has-outgrown-intel-in-market-value-by-hundreds-of-billions">fierce competition</a> from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>)
What Happened: Tan has grown skeptical of continuing external sales of 18A and its variant 18A-P — advanced manufacturing processes that have cost Intel billions to develop, but have struggled to attract major customers, reported Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Scrapping the effort could trigger a write-off potentially amounting to hundreds of millions or more, the report said.
Responding to the publication, Intel declined to comment on "hypothetical scenarios," but said it plans to use 18A for its own upcoming chips, including the Panther Lake laptop processor expected in late 2025. Intel will also fulfill limited existing commitments to Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) using 18A.

"Lip-Bu and the executive team are committed to strengthening our roadmap, building trust with our customers, and improving our financial position for the future," the company told the publication.
Why It's Important: Tan is now shifting focus toward 14A, a next-generation process Intel believes may offer stronger advantages over TSMC's advanced nodes, the report added.
Discussions with the board could take place as early as this month, though a final decision may not come until fall.
The deliberations mark one of the most significant strategic inflection points for Intel under Tan's leadership. After posting an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44640394/tsmc-to-take-20-stake-in-joint-venture-with-intel-amid-us-chipmakers-struggles-with-188-billion-net-loss-in-2024-report">$18.8 billion loss in 2024</a>—its first unprofitable year since 1986—the company is under pressure to revamp its foundry business and regain technological leadership in a global chip race dominated by TSMC.
Intel's most recently reported quarterly revenue was $12.67 billion. For the full year ending December 2024, the company generated $53 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46058862/nvidia-intel-chip-stocks-ai-valuation-revenue">billion in total revenue</a>.
Price Action: Intel (INTC) shares rose 2.01% during Tuesday's regular session and edged up an additional 0.18% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>. The stock is up 13.01% year-to-date but has dropped 26.46% over the past 12 months.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that INTC shows a solid upward trend in the short and medium term but trends downward over the long term. While its value ranking remains strong, its momentum score is weaker. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-4/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">More detailed performance data is available here</a>.

Pre-Market Outlook

Constellation Brands, UniFirst And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Wednesday

Investor Gary Black, the managing director of Future Fund LLC, says that Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Q2 deliveries could miss estimates amid the company's Robotaxi plans in Austin.
What Happened: "Tomorrow's $TSLA 2Q deliveries could be a &#8216;buy the news&#8217; event, given low expectations going into the release," the investor said in a post on social media platform X on Tuesday.
He added that Tesla would miss delivery estimates calculated by the market. Black then predicted 370k deliveries for the company with a -17% YoY decline as opposed to Wall Street estimates of 385k deliveries and a -13% YoY decline.
Black also questioned whether people would focus on the numbers. " I'm not sure it matters as everyone is focused on if and when TSLA robotaxi can scale," he said before adding that the Robotaxi launch in Austin did have a "safety driver in the passenger seat and there were a few disengagements.
The investor also outlined how Elon Musk's close aide, Omead Afshar's departure from Tesla, "confirmed" the poor delivery figures in Q2.

Dow Jumps 400 Points As Senate Approves Tax Bill: Investor Sentiment Edges Lower, But Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Economist Justin Wolfers is warning that President Donald Trump's fixation on low interest rates could set the U.S. on a nightmarish path, one that increasingly mirrors the unrelenting inflation crisis that has gripped Turkey over the past couple of years. 
What Happened: On Tuesday, the University of Michigan economist shared a brief clip from his recent CNN appearance on X, voicing his concerns regarding political leaders who push for persistently low interest rates without any consideration for inflationary dynamics or institutional guardrails.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a horror film that still gives me nightmares,&#8221; Wolfers says, referring to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, whose insistence on low interest rates led to an inflationary spiral, which rose to 86%, before settling down at 38% today.

Wolfers sees stark parallels between what happened in Turkey and where the U.S. is headed right now. &#8220;A populist strongman comes to power with a weak grasp of economics but a love of low interest rates and few political checks,&#8221; he says, referring to Trump&#8217;s recent remarks regarding the Federal Reserve and interest rates.
&#8220;If the President remains wedded to this low interest rate idea,&#8221; while inflation starts to rise, &#8220;that then can cause an inflationary spiral,&#8221; he says. 
Wolfers says that &#8220;if Trump were to insist on these sorts of policies, that&#8217;s exactly the script that we&#8217;d follow,&#8221; before asking if we &#8220;should fear an American sequel&#8221; to Turkey&#8217;s economic nightmare.

Why It Matters: On Monday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that he would do &#8220;what the President wants&#8221; when asked about his likelihood of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46186509/scott-bessent-on-replacing-powell-as-fed-chair-i-will-do-what-the-president-wants-plays-down-shadow-chair-speculations">heading the Central Bank</a> after Jerome Powell&#8217;s term ends in May 2026.
This is not unlike Erdogan appointing his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/20/11/18265100/turkish-lira-rise-2-over-weekend-amid-leadership-shake-up">former finance minister</a>, Naci Agbal, to the position of Central Bank Governor in late 2020.

This week, Trump once again referred to Powell as a &#8220;stupid person&#8221; and &#8220;a bad person&#8221; for not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46165110/donald-trump-calls-fed-chair-jerome-powell-a-bad-person-who-keeps-rates-artificially-high-says-benchmark-should-drop-by-half">cutting interest rates</a>, which he says should be at &#8220;1% or 2%.&#8221;
