Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh appeared before the Senate Banking Committee to lay out the central bank's monetary policy stance and its assessment of the broader economic outlook. The appearance is part of congressionally mandated semiannual testimony required of the Fed's leader.
Warsh had addressed a similar session before the House Financial Services Committee just a day earlier. Senators' questions reportedly focused on the inflation outlook, the state of the labor market, and the likely path of interest rates.
The testimony arrives at a moment when markets and the public are closely watching how the Fed balances its fight against inflation with broader growth goals. Warsh's remarks could help shape investor expectations for rate decisions through the rest of the year.
