The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the president may remove the heads of most independent regulatory agencies without stating a cause, a decision seen as weakening the institutional foundation of the Federal Reserve's policy independence. The court said Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can remain in her post for the time being. Former President Donald Trump said he will restart efforts to remove Cook, a move viewed as aimed at shaping interest-rate decisions. Markets are increasingly focused on the risk that political pressure could push the Fed toward premature rate cuts, reignite inflation and undermine confidence in the U.S. dollar. Wall Street is watching for potential ripple effects across the expected rate path, the dollar's direction and equity valuations.
