Jerome Powell's term as Federal Reserve Chair expires May 15, 2026, and he confirmed on April 29 that he will step aside then while remaining on the Board of Governors until January 2028. President Trump's March nomination of Kevin Warsh as successor advanced through the Senate Banking Committee this week on a 13-11 party-line vote, positioning it for a full Senate confirmation vote imminently, likely enabling Warsh to assume the role shortly after May 15. No recent developments suggest early departure, though tensions over Federal Reserve independence and Trump's past criticisms underscore the high-stakes transition, with Warsh signaling potential policy shifts on interest rates.

Vacating his role refers to Powell actually ceasing to hold the position of Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Announcements of resignations or firings will not alone qualify.
The scheduled end of Powell’s term as Chair will not alone qualify. If Powell continues to serve as Chair on a temporary basis (e.g. until the confirmation of his successor), he will not be considered to have vacated his role as Chair.
This market is restricted to Powell’s status as Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Powell’s status as a regular member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors will not affect this market’s resolution.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
