The leakage of Walsh's testimony has sparked controversy. Analyst: It is already a bad behavior for positions that require strict information control
According to Golden Finance, on April 21st, the US Senate Banking Committee will hold a confirmation hearing for Walsh's nomination at 10am Eastern Time on Tuesday (22:00 Beijing Time on Tuesday). Forex analyst Adam Button said that since receiving the nomination, Walsh has been particularly low-key, which means tomorrow will be the first opportunity for the outside world to truly understand his position. The market is familiar with Walsh before the nomination, and his resume sounds more hawkish. His dovish tendency is that he believes productivity is about to soar, so interest rates should be lowered. This is exactly in line with Trump's wishes. Senators will take note of this, and he will also face questioning. Politico's report shows that he will at least go through the motions. I don't know if anyone will believe what he is going to say, but once Trump abandons the investigation into Powell, his confirmation is basically a foregone conclusion. Tomorrow is a hearing, not a vote. What makes me uneasy is that his testimony was leaked to Politico, which is already a bad behavior for a position that requires strict information control. The only issue that is truly important for the foreign exchange market and interest rates is independence. Will Walsh defend it, avoid it, or obey orders? How tough will he be? Can he convince people without saying the words that led to Trump withdrawing his nomination? Considering all the dramatic events surrounding Iran, this hearing will not be as eye-catching as usual.
