Kevin Warsh's High-Stakes Fed Debut On Inflation, Jobs And Economic Outlook: Here's What To Expect

Newly appointed Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is set to make his first significant remarks on inflation, unemployment, and the economic outlook at a press conference on Wednesday.
Warsh, who succeeded Jerome Powell a month ago, has been outspoken about the U.S. central bank’s balance sheet and the need for less focus on interest rates. This press conference, following the Fed’s June 16-17 policy meeting, would allow Warsh to address economic issues and outline his plans for the central bank’s response.
