Global stocks and bonds started December under pressure as a renewed selloff in cryptocurrencies and hawkish comments from the Bank of Japan weighed on sentiment.

President Donald Trump said Sunday he has decided on his pick for the next Federal Reserve chair after making clear he expects his nominee to deliver interest-rate cuts.

“I know who I am going to pick, yeah,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on his way back to Washington, without naming his choice. “We’ll be announcing it.”
