Key Developments of the Week

The Supreme Court has postponed its tariff decision to this week, and the inflation report is also expected in the coming days. If the Supreme Court announces its decision, this could be the most significant week of January. Trump’s aggressive actions against the independence of institutions, especially regarding the Fed, along with the chaos caused by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and looming elections, are considerably impacting risk markets.

So, what significant developments are expected in the markets in the coming days?

Points of Concern

Last week, the potential tariff decision by the Supreme Court caused notable volatility, and this week will be no different. Due to the government shutdown, December’s inflation reports were deemed unreliable, so this week’s inflation data is crucial for providing an updated economic status.

Powell’s public grievances against Trump signal volatility, and if such developments continue, assets like gold and silver may rise while cryptocurrency faces pricing risks. Recall that last year, when Trump attempted to remove Powell and later hawkish Fed member Bostic, we witnessed significant declines.
