People always talk about 'mechanical godsend'—well, the so-called gods are the Fed's voting members. The Federal Reserve is like a god to the financial markets. Even though the Fed's authority has taken quite a hit recently, they always manage to prove their influence through various tactics and maneuvers, recharging their credibility. For most of the time in the financial markets, the Fed can turn the tide with a flip of their hand. Even if you’re not happy about it, within the dollar system, they are the true gods. If you want to make a living, you’ve got to keep a close eye on them. In today’s market, with its crazy sell-offs and rivers of blood, just a few words from Fed officials can reverse the odds of a rate cut and spark a market rebound. Sometimes insider info isn’t as effective as just drawing a candlestick chart. You, Trump, might make your move on the first day, but the Fed can always counter on the fifteenth.
