Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh testifies before Congress for the first time
Kevin Warsh appeared before the House Financial Services Committee on July 14, 2026, delivering his first semiannual monetary policy testimony as Fed chairman. The testimony came hours after the June CPI report showed annual inflation at 3.5%, with a monthly decline of 0.4%. Warsh pledged to restore price stability while declining to offer forward guidance on the interest rate path.
