US President Donald Trump hints that National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett is his possible choice for the next Fed Chair. Traders ramp up bets that a new Fed Chair and a wave of delayed economic data will support the case for more rate cuts. The Kremlin says president Vladimir Putin held 'very useful' talks with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, but both sides failed to agree to a deal to end the war in Ukraine. Saudi Arabia sticks to its spending and borrowing plans in its 2026 budget to fund its economic diversification. Trump signs a bill to deepen US-Taiwan ties as concerns escalate that China could move against the self-governing island. Guests on the show include: Parisha Saimbi, BNP Paribas, FXLM Strategist; and Kurt Björklund, Permira, Executive Chairman. (Source: Bloomberg)
