3 prediction markets price this story:
- Before Jan 1, 2028 — the market puts it at 3%, closing 1 Jan 2028. The outcome is Yes if Kevin Warsh leaves his role as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors before January 1, 2028. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about an IMF event for a change in leadership, but only his actual departure from the chairmanship counts.
- Credit — resolved “Yes” on 28 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if the Chair of the Federal Reserve uses the word "Credit" during the introductory remarks or question-and-answer session at the post-FOMC meeting in October 2026. The outcome is No if he does not use that specific word in those segments. Readers often mistake any mention of credit elsewhere for a win, but only the exact term spoken at that specific event counts.
- Before Jul 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 11%, closing 1 Jul 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the U.S. President attempts to fire the Federal Reserve Chair before July 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake a decline to signal interest rate moves as an attempt to fire the Fed Chair.
