Jerome Powell's term as Federal Reserve Chair expires May 15, 2026, though his Board of Governors seat extends to January 2028; he affirmed in March he will serve until a Senate-confirmed successor assumes office. President Trump nominated Kevin Warsh in late January 2026 to replace him, with formal Senate submission following, but the Senate Banking Committee delayed Warsh's confirmation hearing last week amid pending financial disclosures, risking a post-May transition. White House officials express confidence in a May handover despite procedural hurdles and GOP Senate dynamics. Traders weigh Fed independence precedents limiting premature removal, with no recent resignation signals or legal developments altering the timeline; focus remains on hearing rescheduling and potential floor vote.
