On January 31, Peter Cardillo, Chief Market Strategist at Sparta Capital Securities, noted: “I wouldn’t call Jerome Powell’s nomination as Federal Reserve Chair a complete surprise. He’s long been viewed as hawkish, but recent signs suggest he’s aligning more closely with the Trump administration’s stance—making it tricky to gauge how markets will react to the pick. We just need to watch whether he’ll be swayed by the White House. My take? He won’t. He’ll take a deliberate approach to issues, striking a balance between inflation and labor market goals. He may not be as decisive as his predecessor, but the difference won’t be significant.” (Source: FXStreet)
