ChainCatcher news, according to market news, Trump stated that he may nominate an interim Federal Reserve board member in the coming days to fill the vacant position, rather than using this opportunity to indicate his preferred candidate for the next Federal Reserve chair. 'We might first appoint an interim candidate and then determine the formal candidate,' Trump said to reporters at the White House on Wednesday. 'I believe the interim candidate will be announced in the next two or three days, and then we will appoint the formal candidate.'
Trump stated that he is considering 'approximately' three candidates for the position, who may come from Wall Street. He added that Secretary of Commerce Ross, Secretary of the Treasury Mnuchin, and Vice President Pence are among the advisers involved in the process. Trump reiterated that he still views former Federal Reserve board member Kevin Warsh and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett as the main candidates for the chair position vacancy.
