This market will resolve to “Yes” if Jerome Powell vacates his role as Chair of the Federal Reserve by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Vacating his role refers to Powell actually ceasing to hold the position of Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Announcements of resignations or firings will not alone qualify. The scheduled end of Powell’s term as Chair will not alone qualify. If Powell continues to serve as Chair on a temporary basis (e.g. until the confirmation of his successor), he will not be considered to have vacated his role as Chair. This market is restricted to Powell’s status as Chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Powell’s status as a regular member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors will not affect this market’s resolution. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Jerome Powell's term as Federal Reserve Chair expires May 15, 2026, and he confirmed on April 29 during his final FOMC press conference that he will step down then while remaining on the Board of Governors until at least 2028 amid ongoing legal pressures. President Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as replacement on January 30, 2026; the Senate Banking Committee advanced the nomination April 29 on a party-line vote, setting up a full Senate confirmation that could occur before term end. The Fed held interest rates steady in its latest meeting, reflecting trader focus on leadership transition and potential policy shifts under Warsh, with historical precedent favoring timely departures absent reappointment.
