BlockBeats News, August 2nd, Federal Reserve Governor Quarles suddenly announced his resignation on Friday, providing President Trump with an opportunity to fill the Fed vacancy earlier than expected, which may also force him to finalize his nominee for the next chair months ahead of schedule.

Derek Tang, an economist at monetary policy analysis firm LH Meyer, stated, "The ball is now in Trump's court, as he has been pressuring the Fed, claiming he wants to install his own people. Now the opportunity has come." While Powell's term as chair is set to end in May next year, his term as governor extends until 2028. If Powell does not voluntarily resign from his governor position, Trump will not have another opportunity to fill the vacancy before 2028.

In this scenario, Trump may be forced to fill Quarles' vacancy with his intended nominee for chair. Tobin Marcus, Director of U.S. Policy and Political Strategy at Wolf Research, pointed out: "The key is that this is the only vacant position Trump can act on. If he wants to find a nominee for the chairmanship from outside the Fed, the nomination may be announced early."
