WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday he is "very, very close" to making his decision on who should chair the Federal Reserve.

Trump has interviewed five candidates for the position, including the current Fed Chair Janet Yellen, whose term expires in February.

Trump has said he is considering Fed Governor Jerome Powell and Stanford University economist John Taylor for the job. He has also interviewed his chief economic adviser Gary Cohn, and former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh.

kept thinking ms yellen would stay. president has spoken with her many times. thinking ms yellen has books to write, classes to teach, and family life to catch up on. holidays around the corner. so, maybe we will see new chairperson. doesn't matter whom is picked in the big picture. only columnists make a big deal out of it hoping you will follow the column. that won't make you any money, however.
