Fed Chair Race Takes a Surprising Turn: Warsh Overtakes Hassett, Trump's Interest Rate Gambit Places a New Piece

US Federal Reserve Chair Race Shifts: Warsh Surpasses Hassett as Trump's Top Pick In a surprise turn of events, President Trump confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh has become the leading candidate for the next Federal Reserve Chair, overtaking previously favored Kevin Hassett. This shift followed a 45-minute meeting where Warsh aligned with Trump’s desire for lower interest rates. Warsh’s Wall Street experience and previous role at the Fed during the 2008 financial crisis distinguished him from the more academic Hassett. Market probabilities reflected the change, with Hassett’s odds dropping from 85% to 52%, while Warsh’s rose to 38%. Trump has repeatedly criticized current Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting rates aggressively enough, and even suggested the Fed should consult the president on rate decisions—a direct challenge to the central bank’s independence. Other candidates include Fed Governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, and BlackRock’s Rick Rieder. Historical parallels were drawn to Nixon-era political pressure on the Fed, which led to high inflation. ECB President Christine Lagarde warned that political interference poses a “very serious threat” to global economic stability. Wall Street reacted cautiously, with Jamie Dimon noting both candidates' strengths but acknowledging Warsh’s potential to be an “outstanding chair.” Powell, whose term ends in May, aims to hand over a stable economy but has consistently resisted Trump’s calls for deeper rate cuts. The outcome of this selection will significantly influence global financial markets and test the Fed’s independence in the years ahead.

When the Fed is Politically Captured, Is Bitcoin's Historic Opportunity Here?

When the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut and a plan to purchase $40 billion in Treasury bills over 30 days on December 10, 2025, the reaction was unexpectedly pessimistic. Instead of falling, long-term bond yields rose—a sign that markets are pricing in a deeper structural risk: the potential loss of Fed independence. Political pressure is at the heart of this shift. Before the decision, a key Trump economic advisor accurately “predicted” the cut, raising suspicions that the move was politically influenced rather than data-driven. This erosion of trust threatens the foundation of U.S. monetary credibility and, by extension, global confidence in the dollar. In this environment, Bitcoin and crypto assets gain relevance. Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million positions it as a hedge against potential uncontrolled money printing if the Fed succumbs to political pressure. Its decentralized nature also makes it immune to government interference—a key advantage as institutional trust declines. Ethereum and DeFi present an alternative financial infrastructure where transactions are governed by code, not central authority. While stablecoins like USDT and USDC remain dollar-pegged and exposed to dollar risk, decentralized alternatives like DAI could benefit from declining faith in traditional systems. Crypto remains highly risky and volatile, but as traditional systems face credibility crises, its role may shift from speculative asset to a legitimate hedge against sovereign risk.

Powell: Weakening Employment, Inflation Still High, No One Talks About Rate Hikes Now

In his latest address, Federal Reserve Chair Powell highlighted a noticeable cooling in the U.S. labor market, marked by slower hiring and reduced layoffs, declining challenges in recruitment, and diminished household expectations for job opportunities. The unemployment rate has risen to approximately 4.4%, with employment gains significantly weaker than at the start of the year. This slowdown stems partly from reduced labor supply—due to decreased immigration and lower participation rates—but also reflects weakening labor demand itself. On inflation, core PCE remains at 2.8% year-on-year, above the long-term 2% target. While goods inflation has edged up due to tariffs, service inflation continues to moderate. Although overall inflation has declined substantially from its 2022 peak, it has not yet reached a level that fully assures the Fed. The FOMC responded by cutting rates by 25 basis points and initiating short-term Treasury purchases to maintain ample reserves and ensure effective policy transmission. Powell emphasized that, with rising employment risks and persistently elevated inflation, there is no "risk-free" policy path. The Fed must carefully balance its dual mandate constraints. He noted that interest rates are nearing a neutral range, and future policy decisions will be data-dependent, avoiding preset directions and instead being assessed meeting by meeting based on economic conditions and risks.
