According to ChainCatcher, citing Jinse Finance, Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius stated that the threat of criminal prosecution against the Federal Reserve Chairman will intensify market concerns about the central bank's independence. However, he expects the Federal Reserve to continue making policy decisions based on economic data. At the 2026 Goldman Sachs Global Strategy Conference, Hatzius pointed out that Powell will make decisions based on economic data for the remainder of his term and will not be swayed in any direction due to external pressure.
