Trump to Interview BlackRock’s Rick Rieder as Final Fed Chair Candidate President Trump is scheduled to interview Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income, this Thursday as a potential successor to Jerome Powell. Rieder is the fourth and final candidate on a shortlist that includes Kevin Hassett, Kevin Warsh, and Christopher Waller.
The Strategic Shift: As a bond-market veteran managing over $2.4 trillion, Rieder represents a departure from traditional academic Fed leadership. His "market-first" approach is seen as a signal that the administration may prioritize liquidity and growth over traditional hawkish inflation targets.
Economic Outlook: Analysts suggest a Rieder-led Fed would be highly sensitive to "funding stress" and market stability, potentially aligning with the President’s push for aggressive rate cuts.
