echo -n "Jerome Powell out from Fed Board by May 30? | No | 2026-05-30" | shasum -a 256 | cut -c1-8Jerome Powell remains listed as Chair on the official Federal Reserve Board page (updated March 13, 2026) and participated in the March 18 FOMC meeting, confirming no departure since market open on Jan 5. His Board term extends to January 2028, removal requires cause which is absent, and he has stated no intention of leaving amid the blocked DOJ probe. With ~2 months left to May 30 and no credible resignation signals, true No probability exceeds 90%, providing strong edge on No at 62%.
Jerome Powell remains Chair and Board member as per official Fed website (updated March 13, 2026), with his governor term ending January 31, 2028; recent March 18 FOMC statements confirm he intends to stay amid successor nomination delays and a DOJ probe. No credible reports of resignation or removal exist, and legal protections make forced exit unlikely by May 30, supporting true Yes probability well below 38% market price (likely <10%), making No a strong buy with P(No) >90%.
The analyst's claim that the true probability is under 5% is contradicted by recent, high-impact developments. As of March 19, 2026, Jerome Powell is facing a Department of Justice investigation led by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro regarding Fed building renovations, and Senator Thom Tillis has stated he will block all Fed nominees until the probe is closed. While Powell's term technically lasts until 2028, the 38% 'Yes' price reflects significant political and legal pressure that could lead to a resignation or removal, making the analyst's 'low risk' assessment and 33% edge estimate fundamentally flawed.
