Fed Chair Pick Sparks Interest Rate Uncertainty

The Federal Reserve is planning interest rate changes regardless of who chairs the committee. Currently, Jerome Powell’s term ends in May, and typically, successors are announced 8-10 months ahead. President Donald Trump’s expected pick could alter this timeline, potentially lowering interest rates sooner than predicted. This has led to a three-year low in the dollar due to concerns about the central bank’s independence and a quicker-than-expected rate cut.
