Warsh gets first Capitol Hill grilling as Federal Reserve chair
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh faces his first congressional hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday, where he will address questions about task forces and his stance on interest rates amid inflation concerns linked to the Iran war. The Commerce Department is expected to report rising core inflation in June, which could prompt the Fed to tighten monetary policy.
