[Rumors of Powell's Resignation Resurface? Scheduled to Speak This Tuesday Morning]
BlockBeats News, December 1: According to market sources, a "short essay" circulating in overseas markets last night claimed that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell would announce his resignation at an emergency meeting held at 7 PM Eastern Time on Monday. However, this "rumor" has only been spreading on social media and has not been reported by mainstream media. There is no evidence from any official channels or the Federal Reserve itself to support this claim.
This Tuesday at 9:00 AM, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is scheduled to deliver a speech at a commemorative event, though the specific topic of the speech has not yet been disclosed. Notably, former President Donald Trump stated in a speech this morning, "I know who I want to appoint as the next Federal Reserve Chairman, and I will announce it very soon." Currently, White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett is considered a leading candidate for the position of Federal Reserve Chairman.
Last Sunday, during an appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation," Hassett declined to comment on whether he is the frontrunner to succeed Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. However, he referred to related reports by Bloomberg News as "rumors."
