The battle for the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve has taken a new turn: Hassett faces pushback from senior officials, and the "Double Kevin" showdown is heating up.
Once viewed by the market as the "unquestionable choice," Hassett is now facing uncertainty. According to insiders, concerns about his close relationship with Trump causing market panic have led the core circle to promote another "Kevin"—former Federal Reserve governor Walsh.
Now, however, he is facing resistance from some high-level individuals who can speak to President Trump.
Sources say there are concerns that this Director of the National Economic Council has too close a relationship with the president; ironically, this is precisely why he became the frontrunner to replace the current chair, Powell.
He indicated that former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Walsh has now tied with Hassett at the top of the Federal Reserve candidate list, which has surprised investors.
This resistance is more about supporting Walsh rather than criticizing Hassett.
Dimon prefers Walsh, the former Federal Reserve governor.
As December progresses, Hassett's campaign has encountered some resistance.
Concerns that Hassett may not take sufficient measures to curb inflation during a future rebound could ultimately lead to rising long-term yields.
