Bloomberg's Stuart Paul said that a preview of prepared remarks from Trump's pick for Fed Chair Kevin Warsh show that he will focus mainly on the Fed's monetary independence in his confirmation hearing Tuesday. Paul described Warsh's view that the fed is responsible for all inflation, even if it is driven up by external forces, as 'shockingly hawkish' but explained that it could stem from the pressure he will face from the White House to deliver rate cuts.
