This could spark a sell-off in both stocks and Treasury bonds, drive up yields, weaken the dollar, and make borrowing—including mortgage rates—more expensive, at least in the short term, as investors worry about inflation and political interference in monetary policy. Analysts warn that such a move could have a “violent” effect on US assets and erode global trust in American financial leadership, with some estimates suggesting a possible immediate spike in Treasury yields of 30–40 basis points and a 3–4% drop in the dollar if Powell departs abruptly.
