Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's term expires May 15, 2026, with President Trump nominating former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh as successor in late January, fueling trader bets on the timing of any leadership transition. Powell affirmed in his March 18 FOMC press conference that he will serve as chair until Warsh or another nominee receives Senate confirmation, citing his board governorship extending to January 2028. Absent progress on confirmation hearings amid Senate procedural hurdles and Federal Reserve independence debates, traders weigh the risk of Powell's holdover against potential delays or withdrawal, with upcoming committee votes as key catalysts before the deadline.
