Trump's latest attack on Powell and the Fed has renewed the sell America trade, with the dollar down to three-year lows on Monday and another stock and bond selloff under way. Goolsbee is likely to repeat the Fed's mantra: The Fed will make its policy decisions based on economic data, and independent central banks deliver the best results.
Separately, if President Trump makes trade news, it will overwhelm everything else. Weekend reports suggest no progress in deescalating the US-China trade war, which adds to a risky situation.
Meanwhile, markets are watching the unfolding US constitutional crisis over whether the Trump administration will implement court orders to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man who was mistakenly deported to an El Salvador prison. Investors may be obliged to reckon with the possibility that the rule of law no longer obtains in the US.
