According to ChainCatcher, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Pulte, stated regarding the rumors that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is considering resigning that this would be the right decision for the U.S. economy. Analyst Adam Button commented that Pulte's statement is strange, as no relevant reports have been found. Pulte has long called for Powell to resign on social media and had hinted at the statement in advance, but the alleged reports could not be verified. The financial markets seem to have no reaction to this rumor.
