Kevin Warsh faces Fed confirmation hearing

The future of US monetary policy hangs in the balance as Kevin Warsh prepares to testify before lawmakers on Tuesday.

Warsh, a former Fed governor, has been a vocal critic of the current leadership and is expected to face intense questioning regarding his views on interest rates and inflation.

Senate Democrats have signaled they will probe his financial disclosures and commitment to central bank independence from political pressure.

The hearing comes amid a period of significant economic uncertainty driven by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
