Powell will remain on the board, and the vote will remain 7-2...Trump will piss himself.
 
  • The central bank’s Federal Open Market Committee on Wednesday is set to release its “dot plot” update of where individual officials expect interest rates to head.
  • However, most Fed watchers on Wall Street expect new Chair Kevin Warsh won’t participate, either because he feels he’s not ready or simply because he doesn’t like the dot plot.

  • The case could have long-term effects on the Fed’s independence in setting interest rates.
  • The arguments come less than two weeks after Fed Chair Jerome Powell disclosed he was under criminal investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., over the central bank’s pricey building renovation project.

Update:

US Supreme Court rejects Trump's unprecedented bid to fire Fed's Cook​

WASHINGTON, June 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court refused on Monday to let Donald Trump fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook as it stood firm to preserve the central bank's cherished independence against an unprecedented challenge by the Republican president.

The court, in a 5-4 ruling, blocked Trump's bid to become the first president to remove a Fed official since Congress created the central bank in 1913. In his second term as president, Trump has tested the limits of presidential power in numerous other ways as well.

The ruling follows the February 20 decision by the justices in another case with major economic ramifications to strike down most of Trump's sweeping global tariffs, a ruling that elicited a vitriolic condemnation of the court by the president.
