PANews reported on December 4th that, according to the Financial Times, bond investors have told the U.S. Treasury Department they are concerned about Kevin Hassett's potential appointment as Federal Reserve Chairman, fearing he might drastically cut interest rates to appease Trump. Several sources familiar with the matter revealed that the Treasury Department solicited feedback on Hassett and other candidates through one-on-one conversations with executives from major Wall Street banks, asset management giants, and other large players in the U.S. debt market. These conversations took place last November, after which Treasury Secretary Bessant conducted the final round of interviews with the candidates.PANews reported on December 4th that, according to the Financial Times, bond investors have told the U.S. Treasury Department they are concerned about Kevin Hassett's potential appointment as Federal Reserve Chairman, fearing he might drastically cut interest rates to appease Trump.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data
The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August.

Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
