A survey by Bank of America shows that more than half of respondents expect the next Federal Reserve chairman to adopt quantitative easing or yield curve control measures to alleviate America's debt burden. 54% of respondents expect the Fed to take one of these measures, while 36% do not agree. One-fifth of respondents expect Christopher Waller to be nominated to succeed current Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, a proportion higher than the 14% in July. 19% of respondents believe it will be Kevin Hassett; 15% believe it will be Kevin Warsh. Bloomberg reported last week that Waller is gradually becoming a popular candidate for Federal Reserve chairman among advisors to President Donald Trump.
