Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will step down as chairman in May of this year. Will he remain on the Federal Reserve Board after that? This is one of the most important issues surrounding the Federal Reserve in 2026, and Powell has been deliberately silent about it. According to some opinions, Powell's current refusal to explain his whereabouts can be seen as a simple and symbolic declaration of independence, reaffirming that he has the right to independently decide when to leave his job according to law, and that he will announce his intentions when he is ready.
