BlackRock fixed income chief Rick Rieder’s star is rising as a potential Federal Reserve chair following flattering remarks Wednesday from President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

In a CNBC interview, Trump called Rieder “very impressive” following a recent meeting between the two. Rieder is one of a few finalists in the race to see who will succeed current Chair Jerome Powell when his term expires in May.<\/p>\n

Trump also indicated that he is near a decision, with a candidate field that began at 11 now whittled “down to maybe one,” the president said during the interview from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Following his comments, traders on the Kalshi predictions market<\/a> raised the odds for Rieder getting the nomination to 33%, about double where they were at the beginning of the week. Rieder did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh continues to hold the lead at 45%, but that’s down about 14 points from Monday.<\/p>\n

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who has led the candidate screening, told CNBC earlier this week that he expects Trump will announce a decision next week.<\/p>\n
