Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's term expires May 15, 2026, but he affirmed on March 18 he will remain in the role until Senate-confirmed successor Kevin Warsh takes office, his governor term extending to January 2028. President Trump formally nominated former Fed Governor Warsh in early March to steer monetary policy amid policy differences on interest rates and inflation. A federal judge upheld dismissal of DOJ subpoenas against Powell on April 3, resolving legal challenges. Warsh's confirmation hearing is set for mid-April, though reports cite delays from Iran conflict escalations. Traders monitor Senate vote prospects, historical confirmation timelines for Fed chairs, and geopolitical risks that could prolong the transition.
