In this article .SPX .DJI Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT A television station broadcasts Jerome Powell, chairman of the US Federal Reserve, on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York, US, on Monday, March 30, 2026. Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images As Federal Reserve Chair took the podium for what was probably his last press conference leading the central bank, investors began drawing conclusions on what his tenure has meant for Wall Street. Powell has served as chair of the board of governors since 2018. Kevin Warsh — Powell's nominated successor who's expected to take over next month — was cleared by the Senate Banking committee on Wednesday in preparation for a final Senate confirmation vote. Powell's exit as chair comes with the stock market near record highs and the economy posting moderate growth after dodging a post-Covid recession. But the Ivy League grad has faced criticism for his handling of inflation and interest rates in the latter years of his tenure, which led to huge losses in the bond market in 2022 and headwinds since. "Most investors would say that they felt that they were getting honest information from him," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research. "It was an apolitical tenure focused on doing the right thing for the economy." Stocks The Dow Jones Industrial Average has climbed nearly 9% annually under Powell, according to CFRA Research. While a slower rate of growth than under his predecessor Janet Yellen, that exceeds the average of around 6% for chairs going back more than a century. By contrast, the S&P 500 rallied 14.7% annually under Powell, the third best performance for Fed chairs going back to 1970, Bespoke Investment Group found. Investors benefited from Powell's decision to hold press conferences after every Fed decision, said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth. Powell's answers helped traders separate "the noise from the news," Hogan said. "There's ...

Putin Presents Victory Day Truce In Ukraine During 90-Minute Trump Call With things in the Persian Gulf and the Iran War 'stuck'... it's apparently time to pivot back to that other 'stuck' war, in Ukraine. President Trump on Wednesday spoke over the phone with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, with the call reportedly lasting an impressive 1.5+ hours , and the talk centered on finding ways forward both with the Iran and Ukraine conflicts . The most important item to emerge was that Putin reportedly proposed declaring a ceasefire in Ukraine on May 9, which is Russia's 'Victory Day' in World War II , and Trump endorsed the idea. Pool via Reuters Russian Presidential Aide for Foreign Affairs Yury Ushakov told reporters that the call was initiated by the Moscow side - and according to him, "Vladimir Putin informed his American counterpart of his readiness to declare a truce for the period of Victory Day celebrations." Here is some of the readout and Ushakov's remarks to the press in Moscow : "At Trump's request, Vladimir Putin described the current situation along the line of contact, where our troops are holding the strategic initiative and pushing back the enemy’s positions," Ushakov told reporters. "Both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump expressed essentially similar assessments of the behavior of the Kyiv regime led by [Volodymyr] Zelensky, which, incited and with the support of the Europeans, is pursuing a policy of prolonging the conflict ." Russia's invasion of Ukraine has devastated swathes of Ukrainian territory, killed thousands of civilians and forced millions to flee their homes. Putin said he was ready "to declare a ceasefire for the duration of Victory Day celebrations. Trump actively supported this initiative, noting that the holiday marks our shared victory ," Ushakov said. The timing is interesting, given that the White House is clearly consumed with the Iran war, the Hormuz Strait crisis, and the expanding economic fallout globally and at home. Put...
