Priya Misra of JPMorgan said she hopes Jerome Powell stays on at the Fed "as a risk management move" as he delivers what is likely his final press conference as Fed chair. The comment is a viewpoint on leadership continuity rather than a policy action, so it carries limited immediate market impact. It is mildly relevant for rate and bond market positioning given the Fed-chair transition context.
