"Scott Bessent has discarded the tradition of the Treasury secretary staying out of the Fed’s monetary policy and cranked up his criticism of the central bank. Bessent is considered a candidate to replace Fed Chair Jay Powell. Another potential candidate, Fed Governor Christopher Waller, could make himself the favorite if he votes for an interest rate cut at next week’s FOMC meeting." @capitalalpha
