Well, we have a new U.S. Presidential Administration with a very different economic strategy than its predecessor.

The president has already started vocally demanding the Federal Reserve be more aggressive in lowering interest rates.

And he's appointed a new head, Scott Bessent, at the US Treasury, replacing Janet Yellen.

What should we expect from the policies this Administration intends to pursue?

Will Jerome Powell march to the President's demands? Or will he flex to assert the Fed's independence?

And where does inflation figure into all of this?
