DOJ drops Powell probe — Warsh toward the Fed chairmanship, markets cheer
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
Bloomberg dedicated multiple segments of its Real Yield program to the announcement, analyzing bond market and credit implications of the Iran war and the prospect of a Warsh-led Fed. Former Fed Governor Betsy Duke confirmed Warsh as 'a serious candidate who knows the institution well.' The DOJ closed the investigation initiated by the Washington DC prosecutor.
