Blackrock takes the lead for Fed Chair

BlackRock's Rieder takes the lead in race for Trump's Fed chair pick
Traders on major betting exchanges now assign top odds to BlackRock executive Rick Rieder to be President Trump's Fed chair nominee.
Driving the news: Rieder had 47% odds Monday morning on Polymarket, with former Fed governor Kevin Warsh second at 28%. Rieder's odds were below 3% on Jan. 12.
quote:
Rieder, as the chief investment officer for global fixed income at BlackRock, is in an unusual position for a potential Fed chair, having published research notes on economic data, which offer insights into his thinking on major debates of the moment.
In a note on jobs data released Jan. 9, for example, Rieder was clear that he believes a productivity surge is underway that is dampening demand for labor, and that the job market is weaker than headline data imply.
What they're saying: Rieder wrote that "if people question whether productivity is occurring in today's economy, we would point to a number of illustrations that require closer inspection than just the top-line payroll growth number, which has been slowing of late."
quote:
He adds that "while U.S. growth is solid, broad-based labor is not really participating in this economic vitality," and that this justifies further rate cuts.
?? Fun fact: Rieder is also a minority investor in Major League Baseball's Baltimore Orioles, of which he is said to be a lifelong fan

This would be a mistake. Do not trust anyone from Blackrock. We’re screwed if this guy gets appointed.

There is no way POTUS Trump is going to give this guy the cookie jar.

Another attraction for Trump: Housing sits at the center of Rieder’s public remarks. Mortgage rates remain elevated, housing activity has slowed sharply since the Fed began raising interest rates in 2022, and affordability has deteriorated, although it has improved modestly in recent months. Rieder has said higher rates reduce turnover, limit labor mobility, and slow construction. Those dynamics affect employment as well as prices.
Trump has made lowering mortgage rates a priority, and Rieder’s emphasis on housing dovetails with that agenda.

It would be like Dick Chaeny with Haliburton all over again.

Rick always looks like he just had a few whiskey shots before going on air.
I do like his bond fund though.

Nobody with the experience and knowledge to do this job can be trusted.

Trump has done a number of idiotic things of late. This would be the most idiotic of all.

Yeah, the guy who helped create that problem by mass buying housing as investment and turning family residence into rentals is going to fix the housing problem?
Foxes are excellent guards for a henhouse too, apparently.
