Push to have Powell reappointed as Fed chair
Jerome Powell’s term as chair of the US Federal Reserve could be summed up as follows: Never in economic history has so much been given so fast to so few.
The trillions of dollars pumped into the financial system by the Fed since March 2020 have sent the stock market to record highs, boosting the wealth of multi-billionaires such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos to stratospheric heights, as well as lifting the wealth of a host of lesser lights.

Given this record, it is hardly surprising that voices are being raised in political, media and financial circles calling on President Joe Biden to re-appoint Powell when his four-year term expires in February next year.
