Meet Kevin Warsh

The podcast analyzes the potential appointment of Kevin Warsh as Fed chair and its implications for monetary policy. It explores whether Warsh, seemingly aligned with Trump's supply-side economics, might push for lower interest rates despite a strong economy. The conversation highlights Warsh's view of coordinating fiscal and monetary policy, contrasting it with the traditional Fed's independence. Listeners' questions prompt discussion on the inverse relationship between the S&P 500 and gold, the impact of foreign investment on the dollar, and the feasibility of reducing the Fed's balance sheet while maintaining Treasury yields. The role of Stablecoin in supporting Treasury demand and the potential for a "melt-up" scenario due to easy monetary policy are also addressed.
