Behind the scenes of the Powell-Trump power struggle

What’s really going on with Jerome Powell, and why are global markets paying attention? In this episode of Make Money Count, we break down the growing tension between the White House and the U.S. Federal Reserve, and why this story goes far beyond political drama. From legal pressure on Fed officials to concerns over central bank independence, this is a moment that could reshape interest rates, inflation, and investor confidence worldwide. We also explore why gold is hitting record highs, what history teaches us about political interference in monetary policy, and how all of this could eventually impact Canadian interest rates, mortgages, and the broader economy. If you’re trying to make sense of today’s market uncertainty, without the noise or headlines, this conversation connects the dots.
