Jerome Powell remains Federal Reserve Chair, with his term expiring May 15, 2026, but he affirmed on March 18 he will serve until Senate-confirmed successor Kevin Warsh assumes the role, a position bolstered by a federal court quashing DOJ subpoenas in a Trump administration probe on March 13. President Trump formally nominated former Fed Governor Warsh in early March amid past criticisms of Powell's rate policies, though Trump stated in January no plans to fire him outright, respecting legal protections against removal except for cause. Traders watch upcoming Senate confirmation hearings and vote—requiring simple majority amid GOP control—for timeline risks, as delays could extend Powell's tenure into summer while his board seat lasts until 2028. Recent FOMC decision held rates steady, fueling debate on policy independence.
