U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the decision to choose the new Federal Reserve Chair will be made soon.
He indicated during his remarks aboard Air Force One that any good chair for the Fed should lean towards lowering interest rates.
If the markets interpret this statement as a prelude to an interest rate cut, it could lead to a rise in the market.
However, if it is considered an interference in the central bank's powers, the effects may reflect negatively and the markets may decline.
