If Markets Are Forward-Looking, Why Are They Ignoring This?

There are a few things I think most people can agree on, like:

• Powell’s the only adult in the room;

• Without him, Trump wants to do to the U.S. what Erdogan did to Turkey;

• Trump’s planning to fire Powell before his term ends;

• If he can’t pull it off before then, he’ll get to put a ‘yes man’ in his place by May 2026;

• So basically, if not sooner, by May 2026 Trump will have the chance to wreck the U.S. economy.

Since markets are supposed to be forward-looking, how come this isn’t already priced in?
