⚠️ Important Fact-Check & Context
If you are planning to publish, share, or trade based on this information, please note that this article describes a hypothetical, speculative, or alternate-reality scenario. In the real world:
- The Fed Chair: Jerome Powell is the current Chair of the Federal Reserve (his term runs until 2026). Kevin Warsh is a former Fed Governor (2006–2011) who was considered for the Chairmanship in 2017 but was not selected.
- Interest Rates: The federal funds rate has not been in the 3.50%–3.75% range recently. (Throughout 2023 and most of 2024, rates were held at a 22-year high of 5.25%–5.50%, before beginning a cutting cycle in late 2024).
