A day after Republican Donald Trump was elected as the next U.S. president, San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams said that the U.S. central bank is nerdy, geeky, but above all apolitical, and will remain so. “Having that independence is very important,” Williams said, adding that criticism of the Fed is part of democracy and is to be expected. “We are focused on the economy, focused on achieving our goals; it is not a partisan activity.” ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads Andrew Harrer | Bloomberg | Getty Images President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, John…

The election of Donald Trump and a potentially sympathetic Republican-controlled Congress raises the possibility that central bankers could get their wish in the United States. If it works, it could sweep the globe, finally convincing Europe and Japan to enact long-stalled reforms. But that will raise a critical question…
Paul Bradbury | Getty Images Donald Trump’s political ride has been anything but predictable. But his presidency may follow at least something that resembles a script. Here’s a stab at what the next four years might look like, from an economic and market perspective. 1. His first big legislative victory will be infrastructure, with a bill north of $1 trillion that will get more Democratic votes than Republican. 2.
