The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh to a 14-year term as Federal Reserve governor on May 12 by a 51-45 mostly party-line vote—one Democratic crossover—following a 49-44 cloture passage the prior day, positioning his nomination as Fed chair for a potential floor vote as early as May 13 amid tight Republican control. This caps a process that cleared the Senate Banking Committee on April 29 (13-11) despite opposition from Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren over his views on monetary policy independence. No Fed rate cut has occurred since the last FOMC meeting, a fragile US-Iran ceasefire from April 8 unraveled with recent fire exchanges, and neither extraterrestrial disclosure nor a new Iranian Supreme Leader announcement has materialized, leaving traders to price negligible odds for these events preceding chair confirmation. Jerome Powell's term ends May 15, heightening urgency.

For the purposes of this market, an “official ceasefire agreement” requires clear public confirmation from both the United States government and the government of Iran that they have agreed to halt military hostilities against one another.
If the agreement is officially reached before Kevin Warsh is confirmed as Fed Chair, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of whether the ceasefire officially takes effect.
Any form of informal understanding, backchannel communication, de-escalation without an announced agreement, or unilateral pause in hostilities will not be considered an official ceasefire. Humanitarian pauses, limited operational pauses, or temporary tactical stand-downs will not count toward the resolution of this market.
A broader peace deal, normalization agreement, or political framework will qualify only if it includes a publicly announced and mutually agreed halt in military engagement between the United States and Iran, effective on a specified date, or otherwise confirmed by an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting. Agreements that outline future negotiations or de-escalation measures without an explicit, dated commitment to stop fighting will not qualify.
The primary resolution sources for this market are official information from the U.S. Senate and official statements from the United States government and the government of Iran. However, a wide consensus of credible media reporting confirming that an official ceasefire agreement has been reached or a consensus of credible reporting that Warsh has been confirmed will suffice.This market will resolve to "Yes" if Iran officially announces a successor to Ali Khamenei as Supreme Leader before Kevin Warsh is confirmed as chair of the Federal Reserve.
