The chances that Jefferies Chief Market Strategist David Zervos will become the next Federal Reserve chair are jumping on prediction market Kalshi as the Trump administration considers several candidates to succeed current Fed Chair Jerome Powell once his term expires next year.<\/p>\n

Users on Kalshi increased their bets that President Donald Trump will nominate Zervos to 15% on Wednesday after sources told CNBC that Trump is looking at 11 candidates for Fed chair, including Zervos as well as others such as former Fed Governor Larry Lindsey and Rick Rieder \u2013 BlackRock’s chief investment officer for global fixed income.<\/p>\n

Zervos’ probability of becoming Trump’s pick tied that of former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh’s, who was once considered the front-runner for the position. At one point early Wednesday, Zervos’ chances even topped Warsh’s at 17% to 15%, respectively.<\/p>\n

Fed Governor Chris Waller still sits in the No. 1 spot on the platform, with odds at 31%, while National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett’s odds are now at 20%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
