Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Trump considered re-appointing Janet Yellen as Fed chair
President Trump has a 'very open mind' about who should replace Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and he's even considered Janet Yellen for the post, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed Tuesday. Powell's term as chairman of the US central bank expires in May 2026, and the Trump administration – already interviewing potential replacements – is casting a 'very wide net' in the search for his replacement, the treasury secretary told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. 'The president has a very open mind,' Bessent said, when asked who Trump is eyeing to replace Powell. 'He even considered re-appointing Janet Yellen, so we want to see what everyone's thinking,' he added. 3 Trump is casting a 'very wide net' in search of candidates to replace Powell come next May, Bessent said. AFP via Getty Images 'It's not ideological, it's about economics, what's best for the American people, what's best for the economy,' Bessent argued. 'And as I talk to the candidates, I'm looking at three things: monetary policy, regulatory policy, and the ability to run and revamp the organization, because it's really gotten bloated and I think this bloat puts its monetary independence at risk.' Yellen, 79, served as chair of the Federal Reserve between February 2014 and February 2018, under former President Barack Obama and through the first year and change of Trump' first term in the White House. She also served as treasury secretary for all of former President Joe Biden's one term in office. Yellen recently slammed Trump's decision to fire Erika McEntarfer, the Biden-appointed former head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, over accusations the agency had been manipulating and miscalculating employment data. 'This is the kind of thing you would only expect to see in a banana republic,' Yellen told the New York Times last week. 3 Yellen, a former Biden administration Cabinet member, has been critical of Trump. REUTERS As treasury secretary, Yellen also staunchly defended Biden's handling of the inflation-ravaged US economy and criticized Trump-era policies. 'Our economic agenda is far from finished,' Yellen told the Economic Club of Chicago in January 2024. 'Our country's infrastructure has been deteriorating for decades,' she continued, adding that 'in the Trump administration, the idea of doing anything to fix it was a punchline.' The former Fed chair went on to claim that 'past measures like the Trump administration's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act increased the deficit by $2 trillion while doing little to spur investment.' 3 The Trump administration is in the process of interviewing candidates to replace Powell as Fed chairman. Getty Images Trump is reportedly considering as many as 10 people to replace Powell come next year. Former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard; former economic adviser to President George W. Bush, Marc Sumerlin; National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett; former Fed governor Kevin Warsh; and current Fed governor Christopher Waller are among the candidates the president is considering, according to the Wall Street Journal. Trump has raged against Powell for the last several months over his refusal to cut interest rates, nicknaming him 'Too Late Powell.' On Tuesday, the president threatened to sue the chairman over the 'grossly incompetent job' he has done in managing a $2.5 billion renovation project at the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington, DC, which the president claims 'should have been a $50 Million Dollar fix up.' Trump named ally Stephen Miran, a member of his Council of Economic Advisers, to the Fed Board last week, to replace Fed Governor Adriana Kugler, who abruptly resigned. Bessent noted that when Powell is replaced as chairman, Trump will have 'a majority of the board in DC.' 'An important thing to remember is we have two seats' Trump is looking to fill, Bessent told Kudlow. 'So there's the seat for the chair and then there will be another appointee joining — so we actually get two appointments and President Trump will have a majority of the board in DC.' The White House did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.

Gold logs biggest daily price drop in 3 months, as Trump says it won't be subject to tariffs
The price of gold fell by the most in three months on Monday, as traders sold the asset ahead of President Trump's clarification that there would be no tariff on bullion entering the U.S. The most active gold futures contract GCZ25 trading on Nymex fell 2.5% to settle at $3,404.70, or $86.60 an an ounce, in Monday trading — logging its worst one-day percentage decline since May 12, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Invest in Gold American Hartford Gold: #1 Precious Metals Dealer in the Nation Priority Gold: Up to $15k in Free Silver + Zero Account Fees on Qualifying Purchase Thor Metals Group: Best Overall Gold IRA Gold futures GC00 jumped to a record high above $3,500 last week after dealers were blindsided by a report indicating that U.S. Customs and Border Protection would classify 1-kilo and 100-ounce gold bars under a customs code that subjects them to tariffs. The price of gold had already risen around 30% this year as concerns about U.S. economic-policy uncertainty encouraged central banks to buy the precious metal. Late Friday, Bloomberg reported that a clarification from the Trump administration was expected to exempt gold from tariffs. Prices fell on the news and continued that decline into Monday's session. Trump said Monday that gold wouldn't face tariffs, delivering the news in a social-media post right after gold prices settled at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time. Also possibly weighing on the yellow metal's price, according to analysts, are hopes for a cease-fire in the Ukraine-Russia war ahead of a meeting on Friday in Alaska between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
