As questions swirl over who will replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell when his term ends in May, Jamie Dimon is taking his name off the list of potential candidates. 

“Chairman of the Fed, I’d put in the absolutely, positively no chance, no way, no how, for any reason,” the JPMorgan CEO said when asked at a Chamber of Commerce meeting on Thursday if he’d ever consider the role. “I would so much more prefer this job than that job. That’s a hard job, but I don’t want to do that job,” he later added.
