US equities hit fresh records Monday despite lingering concerns over a criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve chief. Lawmakers and former Fed leaders are worried this probe could undermine the central bank's institutional independence. Yet the market brushed off these tensions—a sign of how much stock investors are betting on policy support continuing. Still, the uncertainty around Fed leadership adds another layer of complexity to an already volatile macro landscape.

New stock market highs, but the Fed survey casts a shadow... Are investors betting on policy or something else?

U.S. stocks hit new highs again, but the Fed Chair is under investigation? That's outrageous... The market still rose, indicating that everyone is betting on continuous liquidity. However, if the Fed really encounters problems, things could get very ugly.

The stock market hits a new high again, but with all the chaos over at the Fed... why does the market still seem unaffected?

nah the market's literally pricing in that fed drama like it's just background noise... tbh this is exactly when cascading systemic failures sneak up on you. everyone's so focused on "policy support continues" they're ignoring the actual governance breakdown happening.

New high in US stocks, but Fed officials are under investigation? The market's recent bet on policy dividends, I think, is betting that liquidity won't dry up. If the independence of institutions really collapses, that would be a systemic risk... It's time to carefully review your asset allocation.
