The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a previous ruling by the International Trade Court that Trump improperly invoked an emergency order to impose tariffs. However, the appellate court judges remanded the case back to a lower court to determine whether the ruling applies to all parties affected by the tariffs or only to the parties in this case. This gives the Trump administration time and opportunity to further appeal to the Supreme Court.
- Trump stated that all tariffs remain in effect and that the appellate court incorrectly said the tariffs should be canceled. If these tariffs disappear, it would be a complete disaster for the country.
U.S. Core PCE Price Index Rose to 2.9% Year-on-Year in July, in line with expectations, tariff impact remains manageable!

Trump vs. Federal Reserve Court Battle Begins, Debate Over Whether Dismissal Was "Justified," Board Claims Tweets Cannot Be Used as Justification. The Trump administration argues that defining the reasons is the president's prerogative, and the court has no authority to review it; as long as the president deems the misconduct allegations to constitute reasonable grounds for dismissal, that is sufficient. The lawyer for Federal Reserve Governor Cook stated that she faced a "smear campaign," and the fraud allegations have become the Trump administration's "weapon of choice" to achieve interest rate cuts, even if the allegations are true, they occurred before her tenure as governor and do not reach the level of "justifiable" dismissal. The Federal Reserve stated it will comply with any court orders and hopes for a swift ruling. Media predicts this case may reach the Supreme Court.
- Trump's Pressure on the Federal Reserve Escalates: FHFA Director Criminally Referred Over Cook's Third Mortgage. Previously, it was believed that Trump did not have the authority to dismiss Cook based on "cause" because the first criminal referral involving Pruitt concerned actions before Cook joined the Federal Reserve. This new allegation directly targets misconduct during her tenure, effectively filling a legal gap for Trump.
- The Fate of Trump's Tariffs and the Federal Reserve Will Depend on Two Key Battles Decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. In several cases this year, the Supreme Court has generally supported Trump's camp; however, these two new cases regarding global tariffs and the attempt to dismiss Cook may break this winning streak, as they will put the White House directly at odds with another group favored by the courts—the business community Federal Reserve Chairman frontrunner Waller: Ethereum and stablecoins are the next step in payment development, institutions should adopt them. Waller, a popular candidate for the next Federal Reserve Chairman, has publicly expressed optimism about digital assets (especially Ethereum and stablecoins), urging financial institutions to embrace cryptocurrencies as the natural next step in payment development. This statement has been interpreted by the market as a positive signal for the re-evaluation of cryptocurrencies. Regulatory clarity has significantly driven institutional capital into the crypto market. As of the third quarter of 2025, Ethereum ETFs attracted $27.6 billion in investments, and corporate staking investments reached $10.1 billion.
San Francisco Fed President Daly states that the Federal Reserve will soon cut interest rates, inflation caused by tariffs may only be temporary, short-term U.S. Treasury yields fall to intraday lows.
