US President Trump, speaking on Friday about Hassett and the Federal Reserve position, said he wanted Hassett to remain on the National Council of Economic Advisers (NEC). Trump said, "Hassett has been doing well on television, and I want him to stay in his current position. We'll see." Trump added, "Fed officials don't talk much, Hassett talks a lot." Following Trump's remarks, the US dollar index (DXY) quickly rose by more than 20 points, and spot gold and silver briefly plunged, currently trading at $4550/ounce and $87.5/ounce respectively.
