Jerome Powell’s term as Federal Reserve Chair concluded in May 2026 with Kevin Warsh’s confirmation and swearing-in, yet Powell continues serving as a Board governor under his 14-year term that expires January 31, 2028. He has publicly stated he will remain “for a period of time to be determined” pending resolution of the ongoing investigation into the Fed’s headquarters construction project. Federal Reserve governors enjoy statutory protections and can be removed only for cause, limiting near-term removal risks absent congressional or legal action. Market participants are monitoring the investigation timeline, any administration communications, and potential resignation signals as the primary variables that could shift the implied probability of an earlier departure.

This market is not limited to Jerome Powell’s current position as chair of the Federal Reserve. If Jerome Powell ceases to be Chair of the Federal Reserve, but remains a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, this will not qualify for a “Yes” resolution.
The resolution source for this market will be information from the U.S. Government; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also suffice.
