In today’s video, we break down the explosive developments that have sent markets into a frenzy and pushed prediction odds for a Hassett nomination above 80%. Treasury yields just dipped below 4% for the first time in a month, and investors are suddenly pricing in what a Trump-aligned Federal Reserve would mean: aggressive rate cuts, cheaper borrowing costs… and potentially higher inflation.

Bloomberg’s bombshell report lit the match. But it was Trump’s own off-hand comment—“I know who I’m going to pick”—that set off alarm bells around the world. With Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent promising a decision before Christmas, the race for Fed Chair has turned into one of the most consequential power struggles in modern economic history.

Inside this video, we cover:
🔥 Why prediction markets exploded the moment Hassett’s name surfaced
🔥 What a Trump-loyalist Federal Reserve would mean for your mortgage, car loan, and savings
🔥 The massive risk of a perceived loss of Fed independence—and why long-term rates could rise, not fall
🔥 The internal White House battle between Hassett, Kevin Warsh, Christopher Waller, Michelle Bowman, and Rick Rieder
🔥 Trump’s growing frustration with Jerome Powell and the future of the current Fed leadership
🔥 How December’s coming rate decision could be overshadowed entirely by the Fed Chair nomination
🔥 The global implications of a politically aligned central bank—and why investors are already repositioning

A Hassett-led Fed could fundamentally reshape U.S. monetary policy—faster rate cuts, looser financial conditions, and a direct link between the White House and the central bank. But it could also trigger a credibility crisis unlike anything seen since the 1970s.

If Trump announces his pick in the coming days, expect markets to react instantly. Borrowing costs could swing wildly. The Senate confirmation fight will be brutal. And the independence of the Federal Reserve—the backbone of the global financial system—will be tested like never before.
