🚨 Powell’s Fed Fight Isn’t Over… It Just Entered a New Phase.
The DOJ has dropped its criminal probe into Jerome Powell — but the pressure campaign isn’t finished.
The Fed’s internal watchdog is still investigating renovation cost overruns, keeping the drama alive.
And here’s the real twist 👀
Powell’s term as Fed Chair ends May 15, but his seat on the Federal Reserve Board runs until 2028.
That means he may lose the title… but not the leverage.
As Jon Hilsenrath put it: “As long as he is a Fed governor, he has leverage.”
Translation: Powell could still shape the Fed from inside the room.
With leadership uncertainty, political pressure, and an active internal review, markets may be walking into a fresh wave of volatility.
🔥 Bottom line:
Powell may be exiting the Chair’s seat… but the power struggle at the Fed is far from over.
