The market strongly favors a NO on Waller's confirmation as Fed Chair.
Current market probabilities indicate a 99.6% chance that Christopher Waller will not be confirmed as Fed Chair, with a low 0.4% chance for confirmation. The Pulse AI also reflects a similar sentiment, suggesting a strong consensus against his confirmation. The market appears fairly priced, with a confidence level of 75 out of 100.
This market will resolve according to the next individual formally confirmed as Chair of the Federal Reserve.
Formal confirmation as Chair of the Federal Reserve requires the Senate to confirm a nominee as Chair of the Federal Reserve. Recess appointments without Senate confirmation will not count. Senate confirmation of a listed individual as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors will not alone qualify.
If no Senate confirmation for the position of Chair of the Federal Reserve has occurred by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other".
The primary resolution source for this market is official information from the U.S. Senate; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
