flag Trump nominates Warsh to lead Fed, sparking concerns over rate hikes and market stability.

flag President Donald Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair, sparking concern on Wall Street. flag Warsh, a former Fed governor, advocates shrinking the $6.6 trillion balance sheet to improve market efficiency and control inflation, but his approach could raise long-term interest rates and make mortgages less affordable. flag His focus on price stability over employment and history of dissenting on FOMC votes may deepen policy divisions. flag While economists see long-term benefits in a smaller balance sheet, the transition risks bond market volatility if not carefully managed. flag Warsh’s confirmation hearings will center on his strategy for reducing the balance sheet without destabilizing financial markets.
