wie würde man das übersetzen?

"als es im Gefolge von Äußerungen des US-Notenbankchefs A.G. zu deutlichen Kursrückgängen kam.

English translation:Chairman of the US Federal Reserve
Explanation:
To be quite precise, Mr Alan Greenspan's title has been the "Chairman of the Board of Governors" for numerous years now.

You cannot use "Kurs" for shares - "Kurs" refers to the share price or an exchange rate - what does your context refer to?

Head of the US Central Bank


Explanation:
This is another way that well-known Am. jazz musician, Alan Greenspan, has been described.

Agree with Ralf on Kurs. Aktienkurs = share price. Wechselkurs = exchange rate.

'... The *head of the US central bank* says it has been vindicated for its policy not to prick a 1990s stock-market bubble that subsequently broke on its own(WN) USA ...'
