Fed Chairman Powell heads to Capitol Hill, where he faces an economic and political backdrop greatly changed from his last testimony in July
When Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell heads to Capitol Hill for two days of hearings this week, he will face an economic and political backdrop greatly changed from when he gave his congressional testimony in July.
Mr. Powell’s testimony will be made public at 9:45 a.m. EST on Tuesday, and his hearing before the Senate Banking Committee is set to begin around that time. He appears Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee, which is controlled by Democrats for the first time since he joined the Fed in 2012.
