Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Global Strategy Conference in 2026, Hatzius said, "Clearly, concerns about a potential blow to the Feds independence are increasing, and the latest news regarding the criminal investigation of Chairman Powell has further reinforced these concerns." He added, "I have no doubt that Powell will continue to make decisions based on economic data for the remainder of his term, and will not be swayed in any direction by pressure—whether its raising or lowering interest rates, it will follow data guidance."On January 12th, ABN Amro economist Roger Quedflich stated in a report that the investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell could jeopardize the Feds prospects for interest rate cuts in the near term. He pointed out that the challenge to the Feds independence could prompt Fed governors to take a hardline stance, delaying rate cut decisions to "defend the Fed." The investigation concerns cost overruns in a Fed headquarters renovation project, which Quedflich believes is seen as a means to pressure the Fed chairman and force his resignation, thereby expanding government influence. He stated, "If the situation continues to escalate, rate cuts may be postponed."

WTI Price Analysis: Bearish Doji investigates Oil purchasers in the vicinity of $78.5

WTI crude oil fluctuates at $78.50 as energy bulls take a breather following four consecutive days of gains. Nonetheless, the black gold's recent weakness or inability to increase further may be attributable to a bearish candlestick pattern on the four-hour chart and an overbought RSI (14).

 

In spite of this, the Gravestone Doji candlestick above the weekly high entices WTI sellers to revisit the $77.00-$76.90 support zone, which includes repeated lows since December 20. Nonetheless, the 200-SMA level near $76.75 could impede the commodity's further decline.

 

In the event that the quote stays bearish beyond $76.75, various obstacles around $75.00 could test the oil bears before emphasizing a rising support line from December 09, close to $73.35 at the absolute latest.

 

Alternatively, WTI crude oil prices must surpass the immediate high of $79.35 to defy the bearish candlestick's downward bias.

 

However, a three-week-old horizontal zone encompassing $80.95-81.10 may pose a threat to oil purchasers in the future.

 

Notably, the WTI crude oil's rise above $81.10 will require confirmation from the monthly high at $81.55 in order to target the previous month's peak of $83.30.

 

In conclusion, WTI crude oil is expected to have a pullback, but the bears face a rough road before regaining control.
