Odaily Odaily reports that US President Donald Trump will interview Rick Rieder, BlackRock's global chief fixed income investment officer, this week to assess him as a potential candidate for the next Federal Reserve Chairman. This will be the fourth and final interview with a candidate to succeed Jerome Powell. Besides Rieder, the final shortlist includes former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, and Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller. Federal Reserve Governor Bowman is no longer a candidate for the position. Trump stated that he will make a final choice in January. If Trump's chosen candidate is not currently a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, then that person must first join the Board. (Jinshi)
