ChainCatcher news, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes published a lengthy article, using the form of a satirical novel to point out that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is trapped in a fiscally dominated "forced compliance" pattern, and his shift to loose monetary policy has become inevitable.

He expects this process to begin this summer and noted that the Federal Reserve slowing down the pace of QT is a signal being released.He concluded that fiscal dominance means the Federal Reserve will abandon its independence, prioritizing ensuring that the government can finance itself at affordable interest rates, which is the core reason for persistently high inflation.

Although he has been criticizing the Federal Reserve since it paused rate cuts last Thursday, he has not issued any direct threats.Trump has taken aggressive measures to strengthen his control over the government and reshape it according to his political will. A source close to the White House indicated that Trump may attempt to fire Powell.
