Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell<\/u><\/a> is set to deliver what is expected to be his final news conference as head of the Fed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The end of his chairmanship next month, however, may not mark his departure from the world\u2019s most powerful central bank \u2014 and the circumstances are setting the scene for a standoff between Powell and President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

If Powell steps aside, it would open a seat for Trump<\/a> to fill, giving him another opportunity to shape the Fed\u2019s leadership. If he stays, he would retain influence over U.S. monetary policy, intensifying tensions with the president.<\/p>\n

TRUMP VS THE FEDERAL RESERVE: HOW THE CLASH REACHED UNCHARTED TERRITORY<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

What began as a disagreement over interest rates has escalated into a broader confrontation between Powell and Trump, marking one of the most fraught periods of his eight-years as Fed chair.<\/p>\n

Trump has intensified his pressure campaign in recent months, publicly criticizing the Fed\u2019s benchmark interest rate decisions and, at times, resorting to personal attacks.<\/p>\n

Powell\u2019s tenure at the central bank dates back to 2017, when he was selected by Trump to succeed Janet Yellen. He was reappointed to a second four-year term by President Joe Biden<\/a> in 2022, which expires on May 15. However, his underlying term as a Fed governor runs longer, allowing him to remain at the central bank until 2028.<\/p>\n

In March, Powell told reporters he had not decided on his next steps and declined to say whether he would remain on the Fed\u2019s board after his term as chair ends.<\/p>\n

Powell\u2019s decision could now carry major implications for markets and policy \u2014 and further inflame those tensions.<\/p>\n

ONE LITTLE-KNOWN MEETING HELPS DECIDE WHAT AMERICANS CAN AFFORD \u2014 AND WHAT THEY CAN\u2019T<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Attention is now turning to who will lead the Fed next. And at the same time the Supreme Court is expected to weigh-in on a case involving Fed Governor Lisa Cook<\/a>, which could test the limits of presidential power over the central bank.<\/p>\n

Trump has selected millionaire Kevin Warsh<\/u><\/a> as Powell\u2019s potential successor.<\/p>\n

The contentious confirmation process had been delayed by a Justice Department investigation into Powell\u2019s congressional testimony related to renovations of the Fed’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., which some lawmakers said needed to be resolved before moving forward.<\/p>\n

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., called the DOJ investigation “bogus” and vowed to block Warsh\u2019s nomination until it was dropped \u2014\u00a0even if he didn’t object to the quality of Trump’s pick.<\/p>\n

THE ONE LINE IN WARSH\u2019S TESTIMONY SIGNALING A BREAK FROM THE FED\u2019S STATUS QUO<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

With the investigation now closed, a Senate panel is expected to take up Warsh\u2019s nomination, putting the former Morgan Stanley banker on track for a full Senate vote.<\/p>\n

Like Powell, Warsh is not an economist by training, instead bringing a background in law and finance. He previously served on the Fed\u2019s Board of Governors, becoming the youngest member in its history at age 35.<\/p>\n

His potential return comes at a critical moment for the central bank.<\/p>\n

The question of leadership at the Fed comes as policymakers weigh persistent inflation<\/a>, the economic impact of the war in Iran and a fragile global outlook ahead of the U.S. midterm elections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
