The Fed interest rates are defined in this market by the upper bound of the target federal funds range. The decisions on the target federal funds range are made by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Fed decreases the upper bound of the target federal funds range as a result of the first FOMC Meeting for which Kevin Warsh holds the position of Chair of the Federal Reserve. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No" The resolution source for this market is the FOMC’s statement after the first FOMC Meeting for which Kevin Warsh holds the position of Chair of the Federal Reserve. The FOMC calendar may be viewed at: https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm. The level and change of the target federal funds range is also published at the official website of the Federal Reserve at https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/openmarket.htm. If Kevin Warsh’s nomination for Chair of the Federal Reserve is formally withdrawn, or otherwise finally rejected, or if no qualifying meeting occurs by December 31, 2026 (ET), this market will resolve to “No”. This market may resolve as soon as the FOMC’s statement for the meeting with relevant data is issued. If no statement is released by the end date of the next scheduled meeting, this market will resolve to "No".Kevin Warsh's Senate confirmation as Federal Reserve Chair on May 13, by a narrow 54-45 vote, positions him to preside over the June 16-17 FOMC meeting—his first—succeeding Jerome Powell whose term ends today. Surging April CPI inflation at 3.8%, the highest since May 2023 and fueled by rising gasoline prices, has driven near-unanimous trader consensus against a rate cut, aligning with CME FedWatch probabilities exceeding 97% for steady federal funds rates around 3.5%-3.75%. Warsh's pledges of monetary policy independence and historical hawkish stance amid accelerating price pressures reinforce this view, though a sharp labor market downturn or global shock could prompt reconsideration before resolution.
