What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

Donald Trump appointed Kevin Warsh as the new Chair of the Federal Reserve. Following the appointment, the Federal Reserve kept its key rate unchanged but removed language suggesting future easing, with officials openly discussing potential rate hikes. Warsh also announced five separate task forces to review how the Federal Reserve operates, communicates, and measures inflation.
