Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivers first semiannual testimony to Congress.
Kevin Warsh testified before the House Financial Services Committee and Senate Banking Committee in his first congressional appearance since becoming Federal Reserve Chair in May 2026. He pledged an 'unambiguous' commitment to restoring price stability and bringing inflation down to the 2% target, while declining to offer forward guidance on the future path of interest rates. The testimony followed a June CPI report showing annual inflation cooled to 3.5%.
