Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen will end her term this weekend and begin work as a distinguished fellow at the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at the Brookings Institution, reports CNBC.
Why it matters: Yellen spent 17 years in the Federal Reserve System and four as chairman, before Jerome Powell was confirmed as her successor last month. She will join former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and several other Fed alumni in her new position at Brookings.

Delta CEO Ed Bastian on Friday told CNN that he believes the Trump administration should move to require the use of face masks during air travel amid a surge in coronavirus cases.
The big picture: Delta already requires passengers to wear masks during its flights, but Bastian says it can be difficult to enforce that directive if passengers refuse — and he's not sure if other airlines would be on board.

President Trump's outdoor campaign rally in Portsmouth, N.H., slated to take place on Saturday, was postponed on Friday due to weather from Tropical Storm Fay, a senior White House official confirmed to Axios.
The state of play: Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters on Air Force One that the event would take place in "a week or two" instead. The outdoor rally — which had encouraged the use of face masks — was scheduled after sparse attendance at Trump's indoor comeback to the campaign trail in Tulsa.
