President Donald Trump’s fresh comments on potential candidates to replace\u00a0Jerome Powell\u00a0as the next chair of the Federal Reserve sparked a wave of speculation on prediction markets.<\/p>\n

National Economic Council Director\u00a0Kevin Hassett, former Fed Governor\u00a0Kevin Warsh, current Fed Governor\u00a0Christopher Waller\u00a0and Treasury Secretary\u00a0Scott Bessent\u00a0had all been floated as contenders to lead the central bank.<\/p>\n

In a wide-ranging interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Trump spoke highly of Hassett and Warsh, while revealing that Bessent, enjoying his current post as Treasury Secretary, has taken himself out of contention.<\/p>\n

“He’s very good,” Trump said, referring to Warsh. “Sometimes they’re all very good, until you put them in there, and then they don’t do so good. But \u2026 I think he’s a very good guy. I’d say Kevin and Kevin, both Kevins are very good.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
