DOJ calls for Powell to fire Cook over fraud accusation

Martin's letter, which was first reported by Bloomberg, was sent as President Donald Trump and administration officials have sought to pressure Fed policymakers into lowering interest rates. Trump has called for Cook's resignation. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department last week alleging that Cook had claimed two separate homes as a primary residence. The combative FHFA director has logged similar referrals for Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and New York Attorney General Letitia James — and on Thursday said his agency was investigating Cook over a separate property. Fed board members can be removed only by the president 'for cause,' a provision that has not been fully litigated but has generally been interpreted to mean that the president can't fire a central banker over policy disagreements. Cook was nominated by President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate on a party-line vote in 2022. While Pulte has said that he believes that Trump has enough evidence to fire Cook for cause, it's unclear how Powell could act. The Federal Reserve Act offers no indication that the chair can dismiss board members. Fed spokesperson Darren Gersh declined to comment. Martin did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Cook has denied wrongdoing and said on Wednesday that she has 'no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet.'

Asia-Pacific markets set to rise as investors look ahead to U.S. Fed chair Powell's speech

Asia-Pacific markets were set to mostly climb Friday as investors look to U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the central bank's annual economic symposium, which could offer clues into the path of interest rates. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 is set to open higher, with the futures contract in Chicago at 42,700 while its counterpart in Osaka last traded at 42,640, against the index's last close of 42,610.17. Futures for Hong Kong's Hang Seng index stood at 25,192, higher than its last close of 25,104.61. Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 is set to fall with futures standing at 8,971, lower than the index's close of 9,019.1. The index crossed the 9,000 mark for the first time Thursday. Overnight stateside, stocks fell broadly Thursday, with the S&P 500 sliding for the fifth day in a row. The broad-market index shed 0.4% and closed at 6,370.17, while the Nasdaq Composite slid 0.34% and settled at 21,100.31. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 152.81 points, or 0.34%, ending at 44,785.50. Fed funds futures are pricing in a nearly 74% likelihood of the central bank cutting rates at its next policy gathering in September, according to CME's FedWatch tool.
