House Republican-led committees, including Oversight Chairman Loudermilk and Financial Services Chairman French Hill, launched investigations into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on December 4, citing alleged politicization of monetary policy and coordination with the prior administration on interest rate decisions. President-elect Trump, a longtime critic of Powell's rate hikes, has not publicly commented on the probes or signaled whether his incoming administration would seek to continue, expand, or drop them following his January 20 inauguration. Traders monitor Trump's Treasury secretary nominee Scott Bessent and potential statements from transition officials, alongside any committee hearings or procedural votes, as these could clarify executive branch influence amid Fed independence debates.
