Trump’s Fed Chair Pick Signals Move to Curb Quantitative Easing Ahead of Powell’s May Departure

As of November 14, observers note that the leading contenders to chair the Federal Reserve are coalescing around a policy framework that may diverge from Trump‘s preference for easier credit. The debate highlights a tension between sustaining growth and guarding financial stability as the policy backdrop for the next cycle evolves.

Sources indicate a growing willingness among candidates to curb the quantitative easing toolkit, potentially restricting the central bank’s asset holdings as a lever to anchor interest rates. A more cautious stance could reshape the monetary policy playbook for future downturns and inflation management.

With Powell‘s term expiring in May, markets will watch for guidance on the trajectory of policy. In crypto markets, even modest shifts toward a reduced QE impulse may influence risk appetite, liquidity provision, and price dynamics across digital assets.
