#whoisnextfedchair
U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s term ends in May 2026, and President Donald Trump is preparing to nominate his successor soon, likely in early 2026, before a formal Senate confirmation vote. Markets and analysts say BlackRock’s Rick Rieder has surged ahead as the front-runner, with prediction markets showing the highest odds, though other finalists include Kevin Hassett, Kevin Warsh, Christopher Waller, and Michelle Bowman. The decision matters widely because the Fed chair influences interest-rate policy, inflation strategy, and financial markets. Trump has signaled he wants a leader who supports lower interest rates.
