Title US Fed Board Names Powell Temporary Chair Pending Warsh Swearin[7D[K
Swearing-In
The US Federal Reserve's board has appointed Jerome Powell as temporary cha[3D[K
chair, effective immediately, pending the swearing-in of his successor, Kev[3D[K
Kevin Warsh. This move is consistent with past practice during similar tran[4D[K
transitions between chairs.
Powell's second four-year term as chair ended on Friday, marking the beginn[6D[K
beginning of his temporary tenure as chair. He will serve in this role unti[4D[K
until Warsh takes office, although no date has been set for the incoming ch[2D[K
chair's swearing-in ceremony. Warsh was confirmed by the Senate earlier thi[3D[K
this week with a vote of 54-45 in favor of his nomination.
In a statement, Fed Governors Stephen Miran and Michelle Bowman – both Trum[4D[K
Trump nominees – approved Powell's appointment to a temporary term pending [K
Warsh's induction. They emphasized the importance of a finite time period f[1D[K
for Powell's tenure, allowing for possible delays.
The confirmation of Warsh as the next Fed chair marks a significant shift i[1D[K
in the bank's leadership. Known for his hawkish stance on inflation, Warsh [K
has shifted in line with Trump's push for lower interest rates that pose an[2D[K
an unprecedented challenge to the Fed's independence. As the incoming chair[5D[K
chair, Warsh has promised to bring regime change to the bank, which he ha[2D[K
has criticized as too political and too open in communicating its decision-[9D[K
decision-making.
However, despite this promise, it is unlikely that Warsh will convince fell[4D[K
fellow members of the rate-setting committee to cut interest rates immediat[8D[K
immediately, given that inflation remains above the Fed's long-term two-per[7D[K
two-percent target. As such, Powell's temporary chairmanship is likely to b[1D[K
be a brief one, as Warsh prepares to take the reins and steer the Fed in a [K
new direction.
