The strategy chosen will have far-reaching implications for monetary policy and financial markets. Investors, traders, and economists are keenly interested in whether the nominee will pursue expansion, contraction, or maintain the current trajectory of asset management.

A market cap of 6.6 trillion, anyone who manages it has to be extremely cautious.

The issue of the Federal Reserve Chair nomination, to put it simply, is a gamble on who dares to move that 6.6 trillion...

The choice of Federal Reserve Chair basically comes down to betting on who can handle the hot potato of $6.6 trillion—whether to shrink the balance sheet or keep pumping liquidity—the market will have to see how it plays out.

Oh my, who dares to move this 6.6 trillion yuan pot... --- It's the same story about the Federal Reserve chair, can we not cause any more trouble this time? --- Basically, it all depends on whether the new chairman will print money or shrink the balance sheet. Retail investors are just waiting to be harvested. --- My goodness, this pot is so big, no wonder the whole world is watching. --- Print or shrink? This guy has to bet correctly, or the market will go crazy. --- The Fed chair has too much decision-making power; it feels like the Federal Reserve's authority is a bit intimidating. --- The key is whether this guy will listen to Trump... --- The decision power over 6.6 trillion yuan, if I had this power, I would have already acted.
