2 Question Tuesday® – 01/27/2026 – Is the DOJ’s Lawsuit Against Fed Chief Powell Moving Us Closer to Presidential Control of the Fed? What Do the Latest Two Private-Credit Blowups Mean for Stock and Bond Investors?
Welcome to 2 Question Tuesday®. This week’s client submitted questions were:
- Is the DOJ’s lawsuit against Fed Chief Powell moving us closer to presidential control of the Fed?
- What do the latest two private-credit blowups mean for stock and bond investors?
Phil, Mike, and Larry talk about the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell. Will this take the country closer to presidential control of the Fed, and a subsequent weakening of the dollar, and if so, should portfolios be rebalanced with more international exposure? They then discuss the two latest blow-ups in the world of private credit, Blackrock TCP and an Apollo Global Management deal, and how they could affect the stock and bond markets.
