🚨 BREAKING: TRUMP LOCKS IN NEXT FED CHAIR 🏛️
WASHINGTON — In a sit-down with The New York Times, President Donald Trump confirmed he has made his final choice for the next Federal Reserve Chair once Jerome Powell’s term ends in May 2026.
🤐 The mystery nominee
Despite the market significance, Trump says the identity will remain undisclosed for now:
Decision: Already made
Advisors looped in: None — not shared with aides or officials
Announcement: Expected within the next few weeks
📉 Market reaction & speculation
Recent chatter suggests the shortlist has narrowed to four key candidates, with Kevin Hassett (NEC Director) and Kevin Warsh (former Fed Governor) seen as frontrunners.
Macro angle: Markets are pricing in a possible shift toward a more dovish, growth-friendly Fed, especially given Trump’s repeated criticism of Powell for delaying rate cuts
Crypto angle: A pro-growth Fed Chair could act as a strong catalyst for crypto and risk assets heading into Q2 2026
🗣️ Trump’s words:
> “We’ll be announcing somebody very soon… I know exactly who it is.”
