According to Odaily Planet Daily, Federal Reserve Chairman Bostic stated that current inflation and employment risks are largely balanced, and the downside risks to employment have significantly diminished compared to before. However, inflation progress has stalled over the past two years, and the Fed still needs to remain vigilant, hoping to see clear evidence of inflation returning to the 2% target. Bostic believes the Fed does not need to cut interest rates at present and should remain on the sidelines and adopt a more patient approach to interest rates. Furthermore, he expects the impact of some tariff policies to continue until the first half of 2026. Regarding Warsh, Bostic said he doesn't know him well, but has heard he is "quite thoughtful."

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren expressed several concerns on Friday regarding Trump's decision to nominate Kevin Warsh. As the ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee (and the first hurdle in Warsh's confirmation process), Warren questioned whether Warsh could lead the Federal Reserve without White House influence. "Trump has stated that anyone who disagrees with him cannot become Fed Chair," Warren said in a statement. "Former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh—who was more concerned with helping Wall Street than with millions of unemployed Americans after the 2008 financial crisis—has clearly passed the loyalty test." Warren called on Republicans to hold off on Warsh's nomination until the Justice Department concludes its investigation into current Chairman Jerome Powell. "Any Republican who claims to care about the Fed's independence should refuse to proceed with this nomination until Trump stops his 'political witch hunt' against current Fed Chair and Governor Lisa Cook," she stated.
