Hassett's stresses Fed's independence in setting rates.

What to know:

  • Kevin Hassett, a leading candidate for Fed chair, stated that President Trump's opinions would not influence interest rate decisions if he were appointed.
  • Hassett is perceived as dovish and likely to support Trump's calls for significant interest rate cuts to boost economic growth.
  • As of now, Hassett has a 52% chance of being nominated as Fed chair, according to Polymarket odds, surpassing Kevin Warsh's 40%.

Kevin Hassett, a top contender for President Donald Trump's Fed chair pick, stated that Trump's voice would carry no weight in the central bank's interest rate decisions under his chairmanship.

"[He] has very strong and well-founded views about what we ought to do," Hassett, Trump's top economic adviser at the White House, said Sunday on CBS' Face the Nation.

"But in the end, the job of the Fed is to be independent and to work with the group of people that are on the Board of Governors, the FOMC, to drive a group consensus on where interest rates should be," he added.

Hassett's remarks follow Trump's recent comment that he should be able to weigh in on Fed rate decisions.

Hassett is largely seen as a dovish candidate likely to align with Trump's demands for aggressive interest rate cuts to bolster economic growth. His advocacy for looser monetary policy, including recent support for bigger cuts, positions him to tilt the Fed toward prioritizing economic expansion over inflation control.

Bitcoin bulls are pinning hopes on Fed rate cuts to sustain a bullish price trajectory in the coming months.

As of writing, Hassett leads Polymarket odds at 52% for Fed chair, topping the former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh's 40%. Warsh's probability has surged sharply from 13% since Trump met him last week. Powell's term is slated to end on. May 15.

The movie also has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first 56 reviews, with only two reviews considered “rotten,” or negative. The Associated Press hailed the movie as “an American masterpiece,” noting the movie touches on topical political themes and depicts a society where “gun violence, white power and immigrant deportations recur in an ongoing dance, both farcical and tragic.” The movie stars DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary who reunites with former accomplices to rescue his 16-year-old daughter when she goes missing, and Anderson has said the movie was inspired by the 1990 novel, “Vineland.” Most critics have described the movie as an action thriller with notable chase scenes, which jumps in time from DiCaprio’s character’s early days with fictional revolutionary group, the French 75, to about 15 years later, when he is pursued by foe and military leader Captain Steven Lockjaw, played by Sean Penn.
