US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has hired Judy Shelton as an adviser. Shelton is an economist who was nominated to the Federal Reserve Board by President Donald Trump in 2019 and has shared posts from InvestingLive on her X account in the past.
Shelton has spent years involved in discussions about monetary policy, central banking, and the international monetary system. While her sharing of InvestingLive articles does not imply an endorsement, it highlights how professional and trustworthy market coverage can reach people at the highest levels of economic and policy debate, and sometimes even influence opinions by offering a different perspective.
In a world where headlines move currencies, bonds, equities, and commodities in seconds, speed alone is not enough. Context, market knowledge, and the ability to explain why a development matters are equally important — a standard InvestingLive, formerly ForexLive, has long aimed to uphold.
