The Supreme Court has affirmed the Federal Reserve's independence by ruling in favor of Fed Governor Lisa Cook, who was targeted by former President Trump for removal. The court's 5-4 decision established that the President cannot remove Fed officials without due process, reinforcing the central bank's ability to set monetary policy free from political influence. This decision is crucial for maintaining stability in the bond market and preserving the U.S. debt rating, as investor confidence relies on the Fed's perceived independence from political pressures.
