Elon Musk’s recent social media repost about ending the Federal Reserve has reignited debate around the institution’s role in the U.S. and global economy. Known for his unconventional views and influence in technology, energy, and space sectors, Musk’s comments about the Fed strike a chord with many who question the stability and transparency of the current financial system. But what could "ending the Fed" realistically mean for the economy, and why do Musk and others advocate for this shift?

With inflationary pressures subsiding, central banks are likely to remain cautious in their monetary policy, which could affect the demand for precious metals. For those invested in commodities like gold and silver, the next few months might see price fluctuations, but a trend toward stability could emerge as markets adjust to geopolitical developments and inflationary data. Additionally, the stock markets, particularly in the U.S., are grappling with the impact of higher interest rates and the Federal Reserve's cautious approach toward further tightening.
