Jon Hilsenrath
Steven Perlberg lists for Business Insider the six Federal Reserve reporters who can make the markets go crazy.
His top four are:
1. Jon Hilsenrath, The Wall Street Journal;
2. Greg Ip, The Economist;
3. Steve Liesman, CNBC;
4. Binyamin Applebaum, The Washington Post.
About Hilsenrath, Perlberg writes, “The Journal’s Fed reporter recently blogged that he expected the Fed to take a more dovish tone this week, his one cryptic sentence helping gold, stocks, and bonds enjoy a fervent Hilsenrally as markets closed.
“Hilsenrath, the Journal’s D.C. correspondent, has been working at the paper since 1997 and contributed to their Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the Sept. 11th attacks. A mainstay on CNBC, Hilsy reportedly has better access to Ben Bernanke than anyone, so much so that FT Alphaville calls him Fedwire, the news service of the Federal Reserve.”
