#下一任美联储主席人选
Reports suggest that Trump may announce the Federal Reserve Chairman candidate ahead of time, even though Powell's term has not yet ended. This move to 'replace the leader early' has already stirred market sentiment.
Why is this worth paying attention to?
🏦 1. Is the monetary policy shifting?
If the candidate is hawkish, the market may anticipate interest rate hikes sooner or a delay in rate cuts; if the candidate is dovish, it could bolster the stock market and cryptocurrencies. In other words, who becomes the chairman decides how the 'faucet' is turned on.
🎯 2. Is the independence of the Federal Reserve being challenged?
Announcing a successor early strengthens 'policy certainty,' but it also raises concerns about whether the Federal Reserve can maintain its neutrality. If it is seen as the 'President's Federal Reserve,' market volatility will be more intense.
🏛️ 3. A resurgence of political intervention?
Trump has criticized Powell multiple times, and if he returns to power, he will likely want to replace him with someone who 'listens.' In the context of a high fiscal deficit, low interest rates are his preferred tool.
🌍 4. How will global capital respond?
If dollar-denominated assets are suspected of being controlled by policy, it will affect global capital allocation. Safe-haven funds may flow into gold, bitcoin, and other 'neutral assets.'

📌 Summary in one sentence:
This is not just a change in personnel, but a political game about 'who controls monetary direction.'
An early leadership change may seem calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents.
What do you think? Does a change in chairman equal a change in monetary policy direction? 💬
