The Second Domino Falls As Kaplan Steps Down From His Dallas Fed Post

The Second Domino Falls As Kaplan Steps Down From His Dallas Fed Post

Earlier today Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren announced his September 30th retirement. This afternoon Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan announced he will step down effective October 8th. We first wrote about the Fed’s poor governance earlier this month. Chair Jay Powell’s resignation would be the icing on the cake but that news is not forthcoming. We expect Powell to be reappointed as Fed Chair in February 2022.
