Trump bổ nhiệm Kevin Warsh làm Chủ tịch Fed mới giữa áp lực kinh tế

The Huoxing Finance report states that on May 25, Kevin Warsh, personally appointed by U.S. President Trump, was officially sworn in as Chair of the Federal Reserve. Outsiders believe Trump will now bear full political responsibility for the performance of the U.S. economy and inflation. The report notes that previously, Trump had long blamed former Chair Powell for high interest rates, a sluggish housing market, and economic slowdown. However, with Warsh’s appointment, Fed policy is now viewed as a direct extension of “Trump’s economy.” The U.S. economy currently faces multiple pressures, including the 30-year mortgage rate returning above 6.5%, PCE inflation rising to 3.5%, and the national average gasoline price surpassing $4.55 per gallon. Markets fear that amid high inflation, the Fed may be forced to continue raising rates, further undermining the Republican Party’s prospects in the midterm elections. Additionally, Warsh advocates weakening forward guidance and increasing policy uncertainty; the number of dissenting votes at the Fed’s April meeting reached its highest level in nearly 30 years, indicating clear internal divisions.
