Financial markets are currently balancing on a razor's edge as traders attempt to weigh the inflationary impact of Donald Trump’s economic agenda against the potential for a more conservative central bank strategy.
Kevin Warsh, frequently cited as a top contender for the Federal Reserve leadership, is viewed by many as a symbol of institutional stability.
