Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller is emerging as a top candidate to serve as the central bank's chair among President Trump's advisers as they look for a replacement for Jerome Powell. Earlier Thursday, Trump said he had chosen Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Stephen Miran to serve as a Fed governor. Trump said that Miran, who will need to be confirmed by the Senate, would only serve the remainder of Adriana Kugler's term, which expires in January. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot index declined on the news, with Waller and Miran both having voiced support for lowering interest rates. We got reaction from Ivy Ng, Chief Investment Officer for the Asia-Pacific at DWS. She speaks with Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts and Paul Allen on The Asia Trade.

Plus - trade tensions between the US and India are rising, while President Trump has signaled new sanctions on Russia could land as early as Friday. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also added that China levies "could be on the table" over the buying of Russian oil. Meantime, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Thursday about strengthening trade ties amid rising US tariffs. For more on the growing impact of Washington's reciprocal tariffs, we hear from Inu Manak, Trade Policy Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations
