Trump Appoints Kevin Warsh as New Fed Chair, Markets Worried Interest Rates Might Rise

US President Donald Trump officially appointed Kevin Warsh as the new chair of the Federal Reserve (The Fed), replacing Jerome Powell. Trump previously hoped Warsh would lower interest rates to support the economy and the markets.
However, the market is now concerned that the outcome could be the opposite. Warsh is known to be quite 'hawkish' regarding inflation. He has criticized the previous Fed policies for being too loose, leading to high inflation.

Currently, the US economic conditions are tough because:
Inflation remains high
Oil prices have surged due to geopolitical conflicts
US bond yields are also rising
The market is starting to reduce expectations for interest rate cuts
Warsh has emphasized that he will be independent and will not bow to political pressure from Trump regarding lowering interest rates. He also wants to refocus The Fed solely on monetary policy and inflation, not on other issues like climate change or social programs.

The market is now preparing for the possibility of:
Interest rates staying high for a longer period
Even the chance of another rate hike if inflation worsens
This is crucial for crypto and stocks because:
High rates typically pressure risky assets like BTC and altcoins
The US Dollar tends to strengthen
Market liquidity could tighten

Trump wants rates to drop, but the person he has chosen may actually maintain strict policies to combat inflation.
