当地时间7月16日，美国总统特朗普在与国会共和党人闭门会晤时流露出解雇美联储主席鲍威尔的消息被捅给了媒体后，导致美股闪跌，但仅一个小时之后，他又公开否认自己准备这样做，称鲍威尔的解职“极不可能，除非他因‘欺诈’而不得不离开”。
凤凰网CFO吕靖认为特朗普是借“炒掉鲍威尔”制造舆论风波，本质是政治压力测试，旨在观察市场与公众对总统干预货币政策的反应，测试市场底线，类似关税战初期的激烈反应逐渐“审美疲劳”。
资深美股分析师Chuck Li认为这确实是一种政治试探行为，“事先制造舆论，为下一步采取比较激烈的措施做好准备是一个成熟政客的正确做法”，特朗普释放真真假假的解职信号，迫使鲍威尔知难而退，主动辞职。
