As of August 8, 2025, Jerome Powell remains the Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, with his term officially ending in May 2026. But… the winds of change are blowing, and a new appointment could be just around the corner. 🌪️
📌 Current Status
Jerome Powell has led the Fed since Feb 2018 and began his second term in May 2022.

Christopher Waller 🏛️ (Current Fed Governor)
Kevin Hassett 📊 (Former White House Economic Advisor)
Kevin Warsh 💼 (Former Fed Governor)
📊 Why This Matters
A new Fed Chair could reshape U.S. monetary policy:
