What Jay Powell's Final Meeting As Fed Chair Means For Kevin Warsh

• Jerome Powell's term as Fed Chair concludes, but he will remain a Governor, a move compared to former Chairman Marriner Eccles amidst ongoing concerns about Fed independence.

• The FOMC voted to hold rates, but with four dissents: one governor advocating for a rate cut and three regional presidents opposing an 'easing bias' in the statement, signaling significant internal policy division.
