Credit rating agency Fitch Ratings said on the 12th that it considers the so-called "independence" of the Federal Reserve as a key factor in maintaining the AA+ sovereign credit rating of the United States. Before Fitch made this statement, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell revealed that he had received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice, and federal prosecutors had launched a criminal investigation against him. Last October, another international credit rating agency, Standard & Poor's Global Ratings, also listed the "independence" of the Federal Reserve as a key support for maintaining the sovereign credit rating of the United States.
