The Federal Reserve's independence is under scrutiny as President Trump challenges its autonomy, with concerns raised by current and former officials, including every living former Fed chair. The Supreme Court recently allowed Fed Governor Lisa Cook to remain in her job, potentially impacting Trump's efforts to reshape the central bank. The Fed's decision-making and potential rate cuts are being closely watched amid economic uncertainty.

"In this Politico interview White House NEC Director Kevin Hassett defends Fed independence ("indisputably important") . but justifies Trump's challenge to Fed independence by saying that the Fednot Trumphas been the partisan actor. That's quite a charge from someone who is near the top of the list of names to run the Fed. What's the evidence for this First Hassett points to the blown forecast on inflation in 2021 as evidence of a partisan Fed: "The governors themselves have been acting in a partisan wayand so for example they allowed the Biden inflation to get really out of control." There's"

"This is going to be an interesting meeting to see how Powell threads the needlevia the consensus-oriented policy statementat a time when disagreements over the rate outlook are more stark. Would-be Fed dissenters face their own dilemma: A dissent makes a big statement (especially if there's several) but dissenters potentially surrender influence over the market-moving FOMC statement. This institutional practice was captured by then-Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren during a contentious 2011 meeting where three officials opposed the majoritys decision to provide more economic stimulus. He"

"You might like this -- paper presented at Jackson Hole three years ago essentially argues that when you supply more bank reserves to the system via QE the banking system adapts in ways to want to keep more of those reserves which creates a big asymmetry of course"

"Third Hassett accuses the Fed of cutting rates before the election unexpectedly and to help improve Kamala Harris's chances on Election Day. Hassett didn't express this view at the time. In fact he defended the decision as "one that made a great deal of sense based on the data that they had at the time" in an interview one year ago with the FT. "The history books will call it a mistake but I think that when youre scoring economic policymakers you need to understand what things are like at the moment that theyre making the decision. And for me I wouldnt give them a bad grade for the September"

"Powell indicated on Tuesday that the kind of funding pressures becoming evident in overnight lending markets would set up the likely end of QT in coming months because officials don't want to find out where the steeper part of the reserve-demand curve sits. But it's worth noting that Miki Bowman the vice chair for bank supervision just a few weeks ago endorsed revamping the Fed's operating framework so that the types of funding pressures seen this week would not be unusual per se. From her speech on Sept. 26: Over the longer run my preference is to maintain the smallest balance sheet possible"

"How should the Fed think about recent funding market signals. These paragraphs from Lorie Logan's most recent balance-sheet speech (in August) seem relevant now. Especially these sentences: "To get back to the long-run demand curve for reserves central banks need to bring the average level of market rates up closer to interest on reserves in a sustained way. Moving the average level up closer to interest on reserves also requires some tolerance for temporary modest moves above interest on reserves.""

"Putting aside from the assertions that are clearly not accurate this is an interesting reading of history: In other words a lot has changed since 1932 to rein in the authority of the Fed limit its tools and force a narrow understanding of Fed policy. Many monetary policy historians that Im familiar with would argue that the 1935 Act that created the FOMC *expanded* the authority of the Fed to centralize and strengthen the ability to conduct monetary policy"
