Claims on the Fed Chair's post: new forecasts amid political turmoil

A wave of speculation about the future leadership of the Federal Reserve has been triggered by recent statements from former President Trump. According to him, a new head of the central bank will be announced soon. In this context, the name of Kevin Hasset, who heads the National Economic Council, is increasingly mentioned as the leading candidate for the position. During an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation” over the weekend, Hasset avoided direct answers to questions about his ambitions regarding the Fed chair position.

At the same time, unconfirmed reports are circulating that current Chair Jerome Powell allegedly plans to announce his resignation at an extraordinary meeting early next week. This speculation, spread within the trading circles and covered by the BlockBeats platform, has not been officially confirmed by either the Fed itself or reputable news sources.

Meanwhile, Powell has scheduled a public appearance at a commemorative event on Tuesday early in the morning. The content of his speech remains secret, further fueling speculation about possible surprises in the central bank’s leadership.
