This market will resolve to “Yes” if Jerome Powell ceases to hold a position on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for any period of time between this market's creation and the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. This market is not limited to Jerome Powell’s current position as chair of the Federal Reserve. If Jerome Powell ceases to be Chair of the Federal Reserve, but remains a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, this will not qualify for a “Yes” resolution. The resolution source for this market will be information from the U.S. Government; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also suffice.Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's April 29, 2026, press conference following the FOMC's decision to hold the fed funds rate steady at 4.75-5.00% marked a pivotal development, as he affirmed plans to remain on the Fed Board of Governors after his chair term expires May 15—his board tenure extends to January 2028. This breaks precedent for outgoing chairs and counters signals from the Trump administration, including Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessett's preference for Powell's full exit and President Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as successor. Trader sentiment reflects tension over Fed independence, with removal requiring "for cause" justification amid rare historical precedent. Key catalysts ahead include Warsh's Senate confirmation, May FOMC meeting, and April CPI data due May 15, potentially influencing policy continuity and board dynamics.
