In this podcast episode, Karl Eggerss discusses President Trump's surprise nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair, which triggered a sharp market reaction—most notably a spike in the dollar and a steep selloff in precious metals. Karl explains Warsh's background, his reputation as a policy hawk, and why the pick caught markets off guard. Despite some higher one‑day volatility in certain areas, overall market indexes were mostly flat for the week, reinforcing the value of diversification.
