Former President Donald Trump is expected to reveal his pick to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell soon—a decision that could have major consequences for both the U.S. economy and global markets.
Among the names being considered are Kevin Warsh, Christopher Waller, Scott Bessent, Kevin Hassett, and Judy Shelton.
Some contenders bring solid Fed experience, while others are closely aligned with Trump’s economic agenda. Judy Shelton, in particular, remains a controversial figure due to her unconventional views.
Whoever gets the nod will play a key role in shaping interest rate policy, tackling inflation, and guiding overall market direction.
