Krawez on Reuters TV: Trump Fed Threats Concerning Investors
The stock market was rocked yet again by recent comments from President Trump, this time with regard to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. “These threats of firing Jay Powell are really concerning investors,” said Brian Krawez, president and lead portfolio manager at Scharf Investments during an appearance on April 21, 2025 on Reuters TV. Putting the Fed chair’s job in question at a time when tariffs and policy changes are already throwing everyone for a loop is almost too much for markets to handle. Especially when foreign investors in U.S. bonds, as well as domestic investors, are relying on the safety and security of the U.S. Dollar. Brian added, “If politics starts getting into monetary policy, investors can’t necessarily trust that their interest as a bondholder will be respected.”
