US Senate confirms Trump pick Kevin Warsh for Federal Reserve Board

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

The US Senate has confirmed Kevin Warsh as a governor on the Federal Reserve Board, paving the way for him to potentially become the next Fed chair. This confirmation followed Senator Thom Tillis's decision to support Warsh after the Department of Justice dropped its investigation into current Fed chair Jerome Powell. Despite Warsh's assurances of independence, concerns persist among global investors and central bankers regarding potential political interference in monetary policy under a Trump-appointed chair.
