"Why Gary Cohn's resignation from Trump administration rattles Wall Street" by Adam Shell on March 7th, 2018. (USA Today).
"Cohn's exit raises doubts about market-friendly voices," wrote Ian Katz, of Capital Alpha Partners. "More than anyone else in the White House, Cohn had credibility with the markets. He speaks Wall Street's language, and the banks trusted that he would share finance-favorable positions with the president. Now that he's out, the question is who takes the mantle?"
If Trump replaces the outgoing Cohn with another "free-market champion," investors could get over his loss quickly, Katz wrote. But if it takes time to replace him, "investors will get edgy."
