Here are the regulators, central bankers and cabinet members on the MarketWatch 50 list who keep traders and investors awake at night

When she was confirmed by the Senate in a close 2022 vote to fill an unexpired term , Fed governor Lisa Cook became the first Black woman to have a seat at the table of the U.S. central bank since it was founded in 1913.

Cook is one of 13 policy makers on The MarketWatch 50 list of the most influential people in markets. From regulators to central bankers and cabinet members, these are the government officials who CEOs, traders and investors are watching the most closely. Their actions can impact the prices of stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities — and even crypto.

Antagonism toward China is one of the few issues in Washington that can win bipartisan support. This dynamic has led to a spate of legislation and regulatory efforts that raised Raimondo’s profile.

Gensler’s cryptocurrency battle has faced some legal setbacks, like a federal appeals court overturning the SEC’s decision to reject Grayscale Investment’s application to establish a spot bitcoin exchange traded fund.
