Odds Of A Second Term For Powell Bounce After White House Comments

FED

PredictIt pricing when it comes to odds surrounding a second term for Fed Chair Powell ticked further away from lows on Tuesday.

  • The move came after a White House spokesman noted that U.S. President Biden "does have confidence in Powell at this time." While the support is there at present, the use of the phrase "at this time" is interesting, and suggests that the consideration of an alternative may be underway.
  • Elsewhere, well-known Powell critic, Senator Elizabeth Warren, resumed her critique of the Fed Chair on Tuesday, suggesting that he had "failed as a leader" when it came to the recent, well-documented trading activity on the part of senior Fed officials.
