Basically cutting rates to 0 by end of next year

Scott Bessent, Trump’s pick for Treasury Secretary, wants more White House say in picking Federal Reserve regional bank leaders. He’d require them to have lived in their area for 3+ years and might veto nominees who don’t. This could push the Fed to cut interest rates faster, like to near 0% by end of 2026, aligning with Trump’s goals. For retail investors, lower rates often boost stocks by making borrowing cheaper.
