US President Donald Trump nominated Jerome Powell to run the Federal Reserve once current Chair Janet Yellen's term expires, in a move widely expected and one unlikely to disturb the roaring stock market.
Powell, 64, will replace Janet Yellen, who was nominated by Trump's predecessor Barack Obama in 2013. Her term as the US central bank's first female leader expires in February.
