While U.S. financial markets were little changed on Friday, investors pulled from safe-haven assets such as gold and silver, a sign of relief over Mr. Trump&#8217;s choice to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell with a known figure like Warsh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That crisis-era experience also suggests to us that Warsh is the person you want running the Federal Reserve if there is a new disruption to the financial system,&#8221; said Jaret Seiberg of TD Cowen in a research note.<\/p>\n<p>Here are three important questions for investors with Warsh on tap to lead the Fed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>More rate cuts ahead?<\/h2>\n<p>The biggest question for investors, along with consumers and businesses, is how Warsh&#8217;s nomination might alter the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate outlook. The central bank\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fed-meeting-fomc-interest-rate-decision-january-28\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">held its benchmark rate steady<\/a><\/span>\u00a0at its most recent meeting on Jan. 28, after officials in December penciled in just one rate cut for 2026.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Mr. Trump has pressured the Fed to lower rates more aggressively, a call he renewed Thursday after the central bank&#8217;s latest meeting. &#8220;The Fed should substantially lower interest rates, NOW!&#8221; Mr. Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115978487020569325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">wrote<\/a>\u00a0on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Warsh has long held hawkish views on inflation, meaning that he has leaned toward keeping interest rates higher as a way to contain inflation. More recently, however, Warsh has softened his stance, telling Fox News host Larry Kudlow that cutting interest rates could tee the economy up for the &#8220;next degree of acceleration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Though traditionally hawkish on inflation, Warsh will argue for more rate cuts by leaning into the argument that productivity gains from AI will allow strong growth without undesirable inflation,&#8221; Oxford Economics analysts told investors. &#8220;We don&#8217;t want to label him as ultra-dovish yet \u2014 his views could shift once confirmed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Expectations for rate cuts edged slightly higher after Mr. Trump announced Warsh&#8217;s nomination, signaling that investors see room for easing this year, said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is some sense that he&#8217;s going to be pragmatic, but not necessarily ideologically opposed to the monetary setting becoming increasingly accommodative,&#8221; Luschini told CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even so, Warsh won&#8217;t have unilateral control over interest rates, as the federal funds rate is set by a majority vote of the 12 members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).<\/p>\n<h2>What about Fed independence?<\/h2>\n<p>Powell has steadfastly defended the central bank&#8217;s independence, emphasizing the importance of insulating monetary policy from political pressure. He reiterated that sentiment on Wednesday in discussing the Fed&#8217;s decision to hold <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fed-meeting-fomc-interest-rate-decision-january-28\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">short-term interest rates<\/a><\/span> steady.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An independent central bank &#8220;is a good practice \u2014 it&#8217;s pretty much everywhere among countries that look at all like the United States, and if you lose that, it would be hard to restore the credibility of the institution,&#8221; Powell said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump&#8217;s eagerness for the Fed to ease borrowing costs raises questions about whether Warsh would bow to the president&#8217;s wishes even if economic data signaled a need to stand pat or raise rates, experts note. Because of Warsh&#8217;s background, many analysts said they expect him to uphold the Fed&#8217;s independence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If Warsh bends under political pressure, he risks eroding his credibility among other members of the FOMC, Luschini told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2025, Warsh addressed the importance of Fed independence during remarks at a meeting hosted by the International Monetary Fund.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I strongly believe in the operational independence of monetary policy as a wise economy decision,&#8221; Warsh said. &#8220;And I believe that Fed independence is chiefly up to the Fed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>What does it mean for investors?<\/h2>\n<p>Experts noted that a new Fed chair pick injects some uncertainty into financial markets as investors reassess how monetary policy could shift under new leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Warsh has called for changes to the Fed&#8217;s regulatory and monetary framework, writing in a November Wall Street Journal\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/opinion\/the-federal-reserves-broken-leadership-43629c87?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=AWEtsqc-FsTsyt4LwZ3HUwivgexMjb4vjgEWB9KmCCxZ-viRI7q37LN2iybZQLyfvFA=&amp;gaa_ts=697cbee3&amp;gaa_sig=A7fqZZ9OZTLrh82EZ57OGlkpAzDo12GrV8EMdg9cag3JulK-yKDe1pjx7wzYzsjtscVrnqPeI7TfNsvcEpURMg==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">op-ed<\/a>\u00a0that reducing the central bank&#8217;s balance sheet would free up liquidity and make it easier for households and small businesses to borrow.<\/p>\n<p>In order for Warsh to instill confidence in markets, experts said investors will want more details on how he intends to run the Fed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This isn&#8217;t about whether Kevin Warsh would hike or cut tomorrow, next month or even this year,&#8221; said Mark Malek, CIO at Siebert Financial, in an email. &#8220;It&#8217;s about the market suddenly having to re-anchor its expectations around a Fed that might look, sound and behave very differently from the one investors have grown used to over the past decade and a half.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/aimee-picchi\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Aimee  Picchi<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/kevin-warsh-fed-reserve-chair-questions-for-investors\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investors are greeting\u00a0President Trump&#8217;s nomination of Kevin Warsh\u00a0to lead the Federal Reserve with cautious approval, while weighing key questions about<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":63498,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[958,1215,8609,386],"class_list":["post-63497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-money-watch","tag-federal-reserve","tag-jerome-powell","tag-kevin-warsh","tag-trump-administration"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>3 key questions for investors about Kevin Warsh, Trump&#039;s pick to lead the Fed - World News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor, is in line to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell in May.
