Waller had a 'strong interview' for Fed chair with Trump as president appears to turn focus to job market

Reports on Waller's interview for the Fed Chair position indicate a positive reception, particularly under President Trump's administration. While this strong endorsement suggests potential support, it does not guarantee that he is the frontrunner. The market is focused on improving labor conditions, which could influence the Federal Reserve's policy direction. Attention must be given to upcoming employment statistics and economic indicators, as they will be critical in shaping Fed actions, especially concerning USD volatility. Waller's candidacy may introduce increased market volatility as investors speculate on potential Fed actions based on labor market improvements, positioning themselves in anticipation of future Federal Open Market Committee meetings.
