Trump says he has decided on the Federal Reserve Chair.

PANews reported on January 9th that US President Trump, in an interview with The New York Times, stated that he has decided who to nominate as the next Federal Reserve Chairman, but did not reveal his choice. "I have a decision in mind," he said, "but I haven't spoken to anyone yet." When asked about his chief economic advisor, Hassett, Trump said, "I don't want to say," but he called Hassett "definitely one of my favorites." Regardless of Trump's choice, the next Fed Chairman will take over an institution at a critical juncture, at the center of the president's unprecedented pressure campaign to drastically lower interest rates. The prediction market Kalshi currently rates Kevin Warsh 41% as Fed Chairman, Kevin Hassett 39%, and Christopher Waller 12%.
