Federal Reserve "Crown Prince" suddenly changes! Trump elevates Walsh as the top candidate for chairman, leaving the market stunned.
The "battle for the throne" of the next Federal Reserve chairman has suddenly reversed! On December 13, news broke that former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Walsh, thanks to a meeting with Trump on Wednesday, directly transformed from a "non-popular candidate" to firmly securing the top position on the list of candidates for the next Federal Reserve chairman.
As for the previously favored candidate — National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, Trump merely added, "Both Kevins are great," and anyone with insight can see the shift in direction.
Just as the candidate was being finalized, Democratic Senator Warren rushed to sound the alarm: she fears Trump aims to install a "puppet" to control the Federal Reserve, adjusting interest rates according to his wishes. Worse, Trump explicitly stated, "The Federal Reserve chairman must first ask for my opinion on interest rate decisions" — this directly challenges the Federal Reserve's "independence."
This round of personnel reshuffling is likely to stir up quite a wave in the U.S. stock market and the value of the dollar. @最强操盘司令
