Trump will likely be choosing new fed chair within 2 weeks. Could be big deal

Trump is expected to announce his decision for next Fed Chair in the next 2 weeks, before he leaves for his Asian trip on November 3.

John Taylor would be a risky pick, but I think his hawkish views on interest rates could be the best road to take thinking long term.

Yesterday, the USD and bond yields turmoiled briefly following news that Trump had warmed to the candidacy of San Fran professor John Taylor, father of the Taylor Rule and advocate of rules-based monetary policy, and who is widely perceived as a mega hawk. The news sent the USD surging and hit bonds.

This is an extremely important pick. Whoever this ends up being has to finish winding down the Fed balance sheet at the correct pace while potentially accounting for an influx of cash and spending created by tax reform and repatriation.

Imagine the melt if it was Peter Schiff.

Fingers crossed for Neel Kashkari
He's been voting against rate hikes and wants the economy to "run hot"

All the nominees are barley different. That's the way it is for all Fed Chair picks.

Impossible. The Fed Chair has to be chosen from existing members of the Board of Governors.

This is going to be a big deal. I can't imagine Yellen will get renewed. Taylor might wreck markets though as he is going raise rates, but who knows if trump is aware of that particular linkage.
Just please don't be Cohn.

As long it's not Gary Cohn, I'm happy.
frick his open insubordination over Charlottesville. He was the front runner for fed chair before he pissed his boss off who only kept him around for tax reform.

Well, then why not just shut the whole thing down?

He probably isn't. Keeping her name on the list is probably a strategy so he doesn't have to fight over replacing her until he has already made the decision.

Few posts in this thread worth addressing:

quote:That’s asinine. Taylor as all about a rules-based approach to minimize expectations disruptions whereas Yellen is about as pro-discretionary policy as we’ve seen. They are on opposite ends of the monetary policy spectrum

quote:There’s a strong argument to be made for rates currently being too low. Raising them might slow our growth, but it certainly won’t ‘wreck markets’. I wonder if you’re aware of this glaring flaw in your imagined ‘linkage’
