Fed Chair Jerome Powell confirmed on April 29, 2026, during his post-FOMC press conference that he will step down at the end of his term on May 15 but plans to remain on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for an indefinite period, with his governor term running through January 2028. This follows the U.S. Department of Justice dropping a criminal probe into Fed headquarters renovation costs last week, easing tensions amid President Trump's public criticisms and threats of removal, which legal experts deem unlikely due to Fed independence statutes. Trump's nominee Kevin Warsh recently completed Senate confirmation hearings, positioning him as the likely successor if approved, with the transition hinging on Senate vote timing before the May deadline. No indications of early resignation exist, aligning trader consensus with the statutory term expiration.
