New Fed Chair Candidate Emerges: Rate Cuts and QT Running Parallel, Inflation Policy May Shift

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】The latest forecast market data shows that the call for Kevin Woor to become the next Federal Reserve Chair is rapidly rising, with odds now leading the pack. According to the latest research report from Deutsche Bank, if Woor is ultimately selected, he may push for both interest rate cuts and balance sheet reduction (QT), but this is contingent upon the Fed implementing regulatory system reforms and reducing banks’ reserve requirements.

Woor has a clear stance on inflation — he believes inflation is fundamentally a result of the Fed’s policy choices, and that supply chain tensions or geopolitical conflicts are not the root causes. This suggests he prefers to control prices through policy adjustments rather than passively responding to external factors. He repeatedly emphasizes that the Fed should return to its core responsibility of maintaining price stability, while also holding an optimistic view of productivity gains that could come from AI technology and deregulation.

It is worth noting that Woor served as a Federal Reserve Board member from 2006 to 2011, during which he gained fame for his long-standing opposition to quantitative easing policies. Currently, he is a partner at the Duquesne family office, a visiting scholar at the Hoover Institution, and a lecturer at Stanford Business School. If his views truly become the guiding policy for the Federal Reserve in the future, it will have a profound impact on market liquidity and asset allocation.

Lower interest rates + QT at the same time? This guy's really thinking ahead—let's see if it can be achieved before bragging. What is the options market betting on during this period? It feels like the sentiment is changing very quickly. Wosh's theory sounds pretty good—inflation is a policy choice. Feels like he's onto something. Wait, regulatory crackdown + AI productivity growth—if this really materializes, the crypto world will go crazy again. If this wave really happens, we should pay attention to how the bank reserve requirements are going to change.

Cutting interest rates + QT running in parallel? This guy wants to do two things at once... Basically, he just wants to prove he can come up with new tricks, but he doesn't know if the market will give him that chance.

Cutting interest rates + QT double approach? What tricks is this guy trying to play? Want to loosen policy and shrink the balance sheet at the same time, feels a bit risky. --- This guy Wosh is blaming the Fed for inflation himself. Why do I always feel something's off with this logic? --- Already at the Federal Reserve in 2006? Back then, there was the subprime mortgage crisis. Does that experience help now? --- Optimistic about AI and deregulation—are they trying to free the crypto world? Hehe, I have some expectations. --- Doing both rate cuts and QT at the same time? Isn't that contradictory? Are we going through the reserve requirements again? --- The key is that the regulatory system must be reformed; otherwise, everything is just empty talk. --- If this guy wants to rise to power, is there a chance for the crypto market? --- Just afraid that it's all just nice talk, but in the end, they'll stick to the old routines.

Lowering interest rates + QT running in parallel? That logic is a bit magical, feels like playing with fire... Does this guy Wash really dare to play both hands at the same time?

Lowering interest rates + QT at the same time, is this move really outrageous or am I misunderstanding something? Wosh seems to have a pretty rigid view on inflation, blaming all on the Fed's decisions... If this logic really gets implemented, it will be interesting to see what happens next. Can AI regulation actually boost productivity? Haha, I need to see if this idea can be reflected in the coin price. By the way, Wosh's last period coincided exactly with the aftermath of the financial crisis. How did he vote back then? That detail is quite crucial.

Wait, odds are ranked first? There must be major capital pushing the market behind this. Who dares to trust the data predicting the market? I need to dig into the on-chain fund flows. Parallel easing + QT? That logic is a bit hard to support. Deutsche Bank's analysis can’t be automatically reliable—only by watching recent institutional wallet movements can we tell what’s real and what’s not. From 2006 to 2011... I remember it was the financial crisis. It’s worth reviewing those decision records from back then. Wosh said inflation is a policy choice, not a supply chain issue? Nice words, but who really benefits? Tech stocks and financial institutions, perhaps. I need to track large transfers to see what's really going on. Deregulation + optimistic AI rhetoric—this combo isn’t very friendly to retail investors.
