Trump’s comments definitely stirred things up, but I’m not making any drastic moves like going fully to cash. Volatility is still relatively contained, and the FedWatch tool still shows decent odds for a June cut. That tells me the market isn’t panicking—yet. Personally, I’m sticking to my plan and watching key levels rather than reacting to headlines.

I follow a disciplined dip-buying strategy, especially during periods of uncertainty like this. The Fed’s cautious tone makes sense to me—cutting too soon could backfire if inflation flares up again. So while Europe is easing, I think Powell is right to wait for more clarity on the inflation trend.

As for Trump trying to fire Powell, it’s more political noise than a real risk—for now. The Fed’s independence is critical, and any serious attempt to remove Powell early would likely trigger legal and institutional pushback. Until then, I’ll keep focusing on fundamentals and avoid getting caught in the drama.

Do you agree with Powell that U.S. equities are overvalued? 3. Can upcoming earnings season justify the current lofty valuations? 4. Would you choose to take some profits or fully hedge your portfolio?
