President-elect Trump's transition team has interviewed Kevin Warsh, a former Federal Reserve governor known for his hawkish monetary policy views, as a potential replacement for Fed Chair Jerome Powell whose term ends in May 2026, but no official nomination has been announced. Recent developments include Trump's nomination of Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary on November 22, which drew bipartisan support and advanced through Senate Finance Committee review, while Fed leadership remains unsettled amid speculation on Warsh or others like Scott Minerd. Senate confirmation hearings for cabinet positions begin after inauguration on January 20, 2025, with Republicans holding a slim majority; traders monitor for Warsh nomination timing, potential Democratic holds citing his deregulatory past, or executive actions signaling Fed independence concerns.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is an official ceasefire agreement, defined as a publicly announced and mutually agreed halt in direct military engagement, between the United States and Iran before Kevin Warsh is confirmed as chair of the Federal Reserve. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
If neither occurs by October 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No".

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.

Humanitarian pauses, limited operational pauses, or temporary tactical stand-downs will not count toward the resolution of this market.
