[Powell Refuses to Disclose Whether He Will Stay at the Fed for the Fourth Time, Aimed at Countering Trump] BlockBeats News, February 1: 'Fed Whisperer' Nick Timiraos recently published an article stating that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell once again refused to disclose during this week's FOMC meeting whether he would remain on the Federal Reserve Board after his term as chairman ends on May 15. Nick Timiraos analyzed that Powell's decision stems from the fact that his term as a Federal Reserve Board member does not expire until 2028. If Powell chooses to stay at the Fed, Milan would lose his seat. This would deal a significant blow to Trump's attempts to 'manipulate' the Federal Reserve. Therefore, Powell's decision is his last card to counter the government and his only bargaining chip.
