There's a real concern in the markets right now about what happens next at the Federal Reserve. If the incoming Fed chair doesn't maintain real independence and ends up being too aligned with current political priorities, that's a serious red flag for equities. You want someone running the Fed who can make tough calls based on data and economic fundamentals, not political pressure. That's what keeps market confidence intact. Compromise that independence, and you're looking at potential volatility across the board—including ripple effects into crypto and alternative assets.
