🇺🇸 #WhoIsNextFedChair — A Decision That Could Move Global Markets.
Jerome Powell’s term as Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve ends in May 2026.
President Donald Trump is reportedly very close to naming his replacement — an announcement could come any day, even this weekend.
🔍 Top contenders right now:
1️⃣ Kevin Warsh (Former Federal Reserve Governor)
➡️ Current favorite on prediction markets (~45–60% odds)
➡️ Seen as more rate-cut friendly, favoring cheaper borrowing
2️⃣ Rick Rieder (CIO of Global Fixed Income at BlackRock)
➡️ Odds have surged recently (up to ~30%)
➡️ Also viewed as supportive of lower interest rates
Others still in the conversation:
• Christopher Waller (Current Fed Governor)
• Kevin Hassett (Trump’s economic advisor)
➡️ But their chances appear lower for now
💡 Trump is expected to choose someone aligned with faster rate cuts and closer coordination with his economic agenda.
📊 This decision could have a major impact on interest rates, mortgages, jobs, stocks, and crypto markets.
👉 Who do you think will get the job?
Warsh? Rieder? Or a surprise pick?
