Federal Reserve and US Economy Reporter
The Federal Reserve is poised for its most important leadership transition in decades, with the independence of monetary policy at stake. War in the Middle East is also significantly complicating the US economic outlook and the path ahead for interest rates.
What kind of Fed chair will Kevin Warsh be? How much will rising energy prices feed into overall inflation? And why has the US economy remained so resilient in the face of persistent headwinds?
