Morning Bid: Markets calm down after Powell poser
By Mike Dolan LONDON (Reuters) - What matters in U.S. and global markets today By Mike Dolan, Editor-At-Large, Finance and Markets Wednesday's market drama on reports of an imminent ouster of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has calmed quickly, with President Donald Trump saying it was "highly unlikely" he would fire the central bank boss even as speculation continue to brew. I'll dig into all of today's market news below, and then I'll discuss how U.S. markets may soon shift focus from tariffs to the more pressing economic threat of labor shortages driven by aggressive immigration crackdowns and deportations. Today's Market Minute * U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is not planning to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, but he kept the door open to the possibility and renewed his criticism of the central bank chief for not lowering interest rates. * Canada's Alimentation Couche-Tard on Thursday pulled its $46 billion bid to buy Seven & i Holdings, saying the retailer refused to engage constructively on the deal, which would have been Japan's largest ever foreign buyout. * The deadly Air India crash last month has renewed a decades-old debate in the aviation industry over installing video cameras monitoring airline pilot actions to complement the cockpit voice and flight data recorders already used by accident investigators. * While almost no one thinks Donald Trump's verbal attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell are a positive development, writes ROI columnist Jamie McGeever, they have electrified the debate about whether the U.S. president is right that interest rates are too high. * The idea of simplifying the federal tax code used to enjoy widespread bipartisan political support. Times have changed in this regard, and not for the better. That's bad news, says Income Securities Advisor publisher Marty Fridson, and not just because of the headaches it causes taxpayers each April. Markets calm down after Powell poser The Fed episode overshadowed otherwise decent set of U.S. economic updates - showing relatively subdued producer prices and above-forecast industry output last month and offsetting anxiety about some tariff-related price rises in Tuesday's consumer inflation report. The Powell story also obscured another decent set of bank earnings, with individual stock reactions for Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America underwhelming - much like the prior day's results. Johnson & Johnson did surge 6%, however, after halving its expectations for costs related to new tariffs and raising full-year profit projections. But the burst of speculation about Powell's exit did reveal something of the market's reaction function on the long festering issue and also, to some extent, the potential size of those reactions. The dollar and short-term Treasury yields kneejerked lower on the Bloomberg report that claimed Trump was about to fire the Fed boss. With Trump's insistence on steep and immediate interest rate cuts as a backdrop, the prospect of Powell's removal upped monetary easing speculation instantly. But concern about damage to Fed independence and possibly overeager rate cuts now in the face of above-target inflation saw long-term Treasury yields surge, the yield curve steepen and stocks drop almost 1%. Trump quickly walked back the report and said he discussed firing Powell with Republican lawmakers on Tuesday but now felt he was "highly unlikely" to do so. Markets quickly reversed all their initial moves, puzzling over just what happens next. Many investors felt the whole piece was just calculated to heap pressure on the Fed Chair to resign of his own accord, with fresh angles of attack from the White House on Powell's responsibility for cost overruns in renovating Fed headquarters. "I'd love it if he wants to resign, that would be up to him," Trump added later. But relatively limited extent to which punters believe Trump will pull the trigger this year can be seen in only betting sites. Even at the height of Wednesday's tension, Polymarket's site showed just a one-in-four chance of Powell's ouster this year. And they ebbed back since to show roughly a 20% chance. The upshot in wider financial markets today is that a full recovery in stock prices and the dollar has been sustained - with long bond yields also returning to early Wednesday levels just over 5%. Two-year Treasury yields remained about 5 basis points lower and 10-year inflation expectations in the bond markets edged above 2.4% for the first time since February. Wall Street stock futures were higher again ahead of the bell. Thursday brings another heavy slate of economic updates, with June retail sales and weekly jobless claims topping the list. The corporate earnings season is now in full swing, with Netflix and General Electric and regional banks among those reporting. Given the Fed anxiety, speaking appearances from top board members will be watched especially closely - not least the dovish Christopher Waller, tipped by some as a possible Powell replacement and in favor of resuming rate cuts as soon as this month. On Wednesday New York Fed President John Williams refused to comment on Powell's position but said monetary policy is in the right place and warned the impact of trade tariffs is only just starting to hit the economy. Overseas markets were in relatively buoyant mood too, with Asia and European shares up 0.5-1.0%. Taiwan chip giant TSMC reported results that topped analyst forecasts, undoing some of the pessimism in the sector from Dutch chip-making tool supplier ASML's revenue warning the previous day. European shares rose on Thursday after four consecutive sessions of losses, supported by strong quarterly results from Switzerland's ABB and some renewed optimism over a potential U.S. trade deal. Ahead of weekend elections, Japan's Nikkei recovered from early losses to end higher as a weakening yen that hit three-month lows this week bolstered sentiment chip shares were lifted by TSMC results. G20 finance chiefs will meet in South Africa on Thursday under the shadow of President Donald Trump's tariff threats and questions over their ability to tackle global challenges together. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will not attend the two-day meeting in the coastal city of Durban, marking his second absence from a G20 event in South Africa this year. Chart of the day President Donald Trump said Wednesday it was "highly unlikely" he would fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell shortly after a Bloomberg report claiming he would oust the central bank boss soon hit the dollar briefly and disturbed stock and bond markets. Criticizing Powell's monetary policy stance yet again, Trump confirmed he had floated the idea of firing him with Republican lawmakers on Tuesday, marking the latest chapter in an escalating campaign by Trump against the independent central bank. "I'd love it if he wants to resign, that would be up to him," he added later. Online betting markets moved to show almost a 1-in-4 chance of Powell ouster this year, but have fallen back again to about a 21% chance since.

West Point Gold Drills 59.44m of 1.25 g/t Au and 68.5m of 0.90 g/t Au, Beneath the Tyro Pit, Expanding the Tyro Main Zone to Depth
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 17, 2025) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the most recent drill results from its reverse circulation drill program covering approximately 500 metres of strike along the Central and Southern parts of the Tyro Main Zone, Gold Chain Project, Arizona. This release contains the assays for drill holes GC25-61 through GC25-64, totaling 957.2m. Highlights: Drilling has identified a broad zone of quartz-calcite-adularia veins, veinlets and breccia that is consistently mineralized (Au) from surface exposures downward up to 200m vertical depth over much of Tyro's currently identified surficial one kilometre strike length. GC25-61 returned 59.44m of 1.25 g/t Au, including 33.53m of 1.63 g/t Au. GC25-61 is approximately 90m below hole GC25-38 (73.15m of 1.07 g/t Au) expanding the mineralized zone to depth at modestly higher grades at depth in this area. GC25-62 returned 68.58m of 0.90 g/t Au, including 15.24m of 2.89 g/t Au. GC25-62 is approximately 60m below GC25-37 (41.15m of 0.83 g/t Au) which also indicates modestly improving grades at depth in this area. This portion of the vein system is developed at the hanging wall contact of a rhyolite dike. GC25-64 returned 36.58m of 0.91 g/t and is approximately 60m below GC25-42 (28.95 at 1.92 g/t Au) and 190m below surface vein exposures. The mineralized zone at Tyro, exposed at surface for nearly one kilometre, remains open at depth and appears to extend northward toward the Frisco Graben and beneath barren Precambrian granite, i.e. 'blind'. "One of the key takeaways from the 6,000m drilling completed in the last 10-months at Tyro has been the consistency of grade over the known surficial one kilometre strike length of Tyro to a depth of nearly 200m. The Company believes that this bodes well for a future resource estimate and a potential development scenario," stated CEO Quentin Mai. "Work is underway to update the geologic model for Tyro and plan the next 10,000m drill campaign that will prioritize testing Tyro at depth as well as along strike as the mineralization remains open to the north and south".

To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Summary Holes GC25-61 through GC25-64 were the final holes in the 2025 spring drilling campaign and were designed to test the limits of gold mineralization at depth beneath the Main Tyro zone and the strong gold mineralization exposed in the surface cut. The holes traversed the vein between 100 and 200m below the surface. All intercepts consist of quartz veinlets and stockwork enveloping what is interpreted as hydrothermal breccia. Additional drilling in the Fall of 2025 will continue to follow this mineralization to depth, with the possibility of higher-grade quartz-calcite-adularia veins related to deeper boiling events. With the receipt of these holes, sufficient data has been obtained to design the follow-up drill program planned to commence in Q4 2025. Hole GC25-61 Hole GC25-61 (Figure 3) was drilled to offset Hole GC25-38 (73.15m at 1.07 g/t Au) about 90m down-dip or about 150m below the floor of the Tyro open cut. The hole intersected a broad zone of weak to moderate veinlets with local 1m+ veins over 59.44m at 1.25 g/t Au. This intercept is about 50m north of GC25-39 (71.63m at 0.971 g/t Au; Figure 1). Figure 3: Hole GC25-61 Cross Section including GC25-38. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Hole GC25-62 Hole GC25-62, drilled to a depth of 317m, traversed a zone of moderate to strong quartz veinlets enveloping a pronounced vein/hydrothermal breccia developed in the immediate hanging wall of a rhyolite dike; the dike was unmineralized (Figure 4). The downhole length of the intercept was 68.58m and contained 0.90 g/t Au. This intercept is about 60m down-dip from Hole GC25-37. Over 140m of rhyolite dike was drilled and it is suspected that the dike is oriented nearly parallel to the hole and likely dips to the south based upon surface exposures. The contact may prove to be important and represents the intersection of the Tyro vein system and a Miocene rhyolite dike. Figure 4: Hole GC25-62 Cross Section including GC25-37. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Hole GC25-63 Hole GC25-63 was drilled beneath the Decimal Hill zone and about 200m south of the Main Tyro zone. The hole cut 7.6m of 1.88 g/t Au and is about 70m down-dip from Hole GC23-25 (51.8m at 0.28 g/t Au) and about 150m below surface vein exposures. The mineralized zone consists of weak to moderate quartz veinlets associated with variably quartz-chlorite replaced Precambrian granite and metamorphic rocks.

To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Hole GC25-64 Hole GC25-64 was drilled beneath the northern extent of the Tyro pit and traversed the mineralized zone about 190m below the surface vein exposures. The hole intersected 36.6m at 0.91 g/t Au contained in a broad zone of weak to moderate quartz veinlets in quartz-chlorite altered Precambrian granite enveloping several metres of strong quartz veining, i.e. stockwork, and hydrothermal vein breccia. Hole GC25-42, about 60m up-dip, encountered 28.95m at 1.92 g/t Au. Figure 6: Hole GC25-64 Cross Section including GC25-42.
