Warsh Says the Fed Must Stay in Its Lane

Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Federal Reserve, told the Senate Banking Committee that monetary policy independence is essential and that the Fed should "stay in its lane." The remarks are largely procedural and signal respect for central bank autonomy rather than an immediate policy shift. Market impact is limited unless the hearing reveals more about future rate-policy direction.
