  • Jerome Powell's Fed Years Mark One of the Strongest Cross-Asset Rallies
    May 2, 2026, 3:03 PM EDT. Jerome Powell's eight-year tenure as Federal Reserve chair saw one of the strongest market rallies despite major shocks like COVID, soaring inflation, and rapid rate hikes. The S&P 500 delivered a 14.7% annualized return, ranking third-best since 1970. Broad market gains spanned commodities, gold, and bonds, even after historic volatility in fixed income. The Nasdaq Composite surged nearly 250%, powered by AI investment and robust corporate earnings. Powell's era was marked by multiple market drivers rather than a single trade or policy, underscoring his tenure as an era of persistent market resilience and evolving bullish trends.
