According to BlockBeats, PIMCO economist Tiffany Wilding has highlighted that while U.S. President Donald Trump may continue to criticize the Federal Reserve and advocate for interest rate cuts in the short term, he is unlikely to replace current Chairman Jerome Powell. Instead, Trump is expected to influence Federal Reserve decisions through upcoming appointments, including the expiration of board member Kugler's term in January and Powell's chairmanship term ending in May. It is important to note that Powell's term as a board member extends until January 2028. Wilding emphasized that regardless of who Trump nominates as the next chairman, the new leader must present a compelling monetary policy agenda, secure Senate approval, and gain majority support from the Federal Open Market Committee.
