tags. Also meta description. We must output JSON with title, content (HTML), and meta description. Key points: maintain meaning, tone, facts, numbers, HTML structure. Use natural Japanese, appropriate crypto/tech terms (though this is more about Fed/economic terms, not crypto). Keep proper nouns (Kevin Warsh, Fed, George W. Bush, etc.) in original form. Translate meta description. Let's translate step by step. Title: "Kevin Warsh Confirmed as Fed Governor, Poised to Become Next Chair" → "ケビン・ウォーシュ、FRB理事に承認され、次期議長就任へ" (or similar). "Confirmed" can be "承認された" or "確定". "Poised to become" → "就任へ準備" or "就任が確実視". I'll go with: "ケビン・ウォーシュ、FRB理事に承認され、次期議長就任へ" Content: Need to translate each paragraph and keep tags. First paragraph: "The Senate has confirmed Kevin Warsh as a Federal Reserve governor, clearing the path for him to take over as the central bank's chair. Warsh, a former Fed governor under George W. Bush, is now widely expected to succeed the current chair when the term expires. The appointment signals a potential shift in U.S. monetary policy that could reshape how markets and businesses plan for the coming years." Translation: "上院はケビン・ウォーシュを連邦準備制度理事会(FRB)理事として承認し、中央銀行の議長に就任する道を開いた。ジョージ・W・ブッシュ政権下でFRB理事を務めたウォーシュは、現在の議長の任期満了後に後任となることが広く予想されている。この任命は、米国の金融政策に潜在的な転換をもたらす可能性があり、市場や企業が今後数年間の計画を立てる方法を変えるかもしれない。" Note: "Federal Reserve governor" → "連邦準備制度理事会(FRB)理事" (or just "FRB理事"). "clearing the path" → "道を開いた". "take over as the central bank's chair" → "中央銀行の議長に就任". "widely expected" → "広く予想されている". "signals a potential shift" → "潜在的な転換をもたらす可能性". "reshape" → "変える". Second paragraph: "A return with a promotion" heading. Translation: "昇格を伴う復帰". Content: "Warsh already served as a Fed governor from 2006 to 2011. His return comes at a time when the central bank is balancing inflation concerns against a cooling economy. With the chairmanship likely within reach, Warsh's views on interest rates and financial regulation are under fresh scrutiny. The Fed has kept rates elevated for months. A new chair could accelerate or slow that stance." Translation: "ウォーシュは2006年から2011年までFRB理事を務めた。彼の復帰は、中央銀行がインフレ懸念と冷え込む経済のバランスを取っている時期に行われる。議長職が手の届くところにある中、ウォーシュの金利や金融規制に関する見解が新たに注目されている。FRBは数ヶ月にわたり金利を高水準に維持してきた。新しい議長はその姿勢を加速させるか、減速させる可能性がある。" Note: "balancing inflation concerns against a cooling economy" → "インフレ懸念と冷え込む経済のバランスを取っている". "under fresh scrutiny" → "新たに注目されている". "elevated" → "高水準". Third paragraph: "What the shift means for markets" heading. Translation: "この変化が市場に与える影響". Content: "Investors are recalibrating expectations. If Warsh takes a more hawkish line, borrowing costs could stay higher for longer. That would hit housing, corporate debt, and consumer spending. If he leans dovish, rate cuts might come sooner. The uncertainty is already showing in bond yields, which have wobbled since the confirmation news broke. Nobody knows exactly what Warsh will do. But the market knows a change is coming." Translation: "投資家は期待値を再調整している。ウォーシュがよりタカ派的な姿勢を取れば、借入コストはより長く高止まりする可能性がある。それは住宅、企業債務、消費者支出に打撃を与えるだろう。もしハト派に傾けば、利下げが早まるかもしれない。不確実性はすでに債券利回りに表れており、承認のニュースが流れてから変動している。ウォーシュが正確に何をするかは誰にもわからない。しかし市場は変化が近づいていることを認識している。" Note: "hawkish" → "タカ派的", "dovish" → "ハト派". "borrowing costs" → "借入コスト". "hit" → "打撃を与える". "wobbled" → "変動している". "broke" → "流れてから". Fourth paragraph: "Economic strategy in flux" heading. Translation: "流動的な経済戦略". Content: "Businesses that delayed expansion plans because of high rates might now wait a bit longer. The White House also has a stake: a new Fed chair could either support or complicate the administration's economic agenda. Warsh has not laid out a detailed policy roadmap, but his past writings and speeches suggest he favors a rules-based approach to monetary policy. That could mean less discretion and more predictability — or not, depending on the situation." Translation: "高金利のために拡大計画を延期していた企業は、今もう少し待つかもしれない。ホワイトハウスも利害関係を持つ。新しいFRB議長は政権の経済政策を支持するか、複雑にする可能性がある。ウォーシュは詳細な政策ロードマップを示していないが、過去の著作や講演から、彼はルールに基づく金融政策アプローチを好むことが示唆されている。それは裁量を減らし予測可能性を高めることを意味するかもしれないが、状況次第ではそうならない可能性もある。" Note: "has a stake" → "利害関係を持つ". "support or complicate" → "支持するか複雑にする". "rules-based approach" → "ルールに基づくアプローチ". "less discretion" → "裁量を減らす". "or not, depending on the situation" → "状況次第ではそうならない可能性もある". Fifth paragraph: "The confirmation vote was not unanimous, reflecting the political divisions that often surround Fed appointments. Still, Warsh cleared the hurdle. Now the focus shifts to the timing of the chair transition. The current chair's term runs until early next year. An early resignation is possible but unconfirmed." Translation: "承認投票は全会一致ではなく、FRBの任命をめぐる政治的分断を反映している。それでもウォーシュは難関を突破した。今、焦点は議長交代のタイミングに移る。現在の議長の任期は来年初めまでである。早期辞任の可能性はあるが、確認されていない。" Note: "cleared the hurdle" → "難関を突破した". "focus shifts to" → "焦点は~に移る". Sixth paragraph: "The Fed's next policy meeting is in three weeks. Warsh will attend as a governor but not yet as chair. The minutes from that meeting will be watched closely for any early signs of his influence." Translation: "FRBの次の政策会合は3週間後である。ウォーシュは理事として出席するが、まだ議長ではない。その会合の議事録は、彼の影響力の初期兆候がないか注意深く監視されるだろう。" Note: "watched closely" → "注意深く監視される". Now meta description: "Kevin Warsh has been confirmed as a Fed governor and is expected to become the next chair. The move signals potential shifts in U.S. monetary policy that could affect markets and economic strategies." Translation: "ケビン・ウォーシュがFRB理事に承認され、次期議長に就任すると見込まれている。この動きは、市場や経済戦略に影響を与える可能性のある米国の金融政策の潜在的な転換を示唆している。" Now assemble JSON. Ensure HTML structure preserved:

tags. Use proper Japanese punctuation and line breaks? In JSON string, we need to escape double quotes and newlines? Since it's a JSON response, we should represent the HTML as a string with escaped quotes if any. But the HTML content itself doesn't have double quotes inside (except maybe in tags? No, tags use < >). So we can just put the content as a string. However, to be safe, we can use single
