**BREAKING: Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan Dies at 100**
Alan Greenspan, who served as Federal Reserve Chairman from 1987 to 2006 and shaped modern U.S. monetary policy through nearly two decades of economic expansion, has died at age 100. During his tenure, Greenspan navigated multiple crises including the 1987 stock market crash, the dot-com bubble, and the September 11 attacks, while maintaining low inflation and fostering growth. His era became known as the “Great Moderation” for its economic stability.
Greenspan’s legacy remains debated, with critics arguing his low interest rate policies in the early 2000s contributed to the housing bubble that triggered the 2008 financial crisis. His influence on central banking philosophy and market communications transformed how the Fed interacts with global markets. Current traders and brokers operate in a financial system fundamentally shaped by Greenspan’s approach to transparency and forward guidance.
