A judge blocking DOJ subpoenas in a probe tied to Fed Chair Powell is a reminder: “independence” doesn’t mean “immune,” and “investigation” doesn’t mean “guilty.” Process matters.

Hot take: The biggest risk to markets isn’t the next rate move—it’s the perception that the Fed is getting dragged into political/legal warfare.

Powell on oil shocks: the Fed shouldn’t knee-jerk. The real question is whether higher energy prices leak into core inflation + expectations. That’s the whole game.

Gas prices up ≠ automatic rate hikes. Oil is a supply shock. The Fed watches second-round effects (wages, services, expectations) before it moves.
