WASHINGTON: On Wednesday, April 29, the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance Kevin Warsh's nomination to chair the Federal Reserve, clearing a procedural hurdle and sending the nomination to the full Senate next month. Committee Republicans coalesced after Senator Thom Tillis rescinded his opposition following a Department of Justice decision; committee Democrats continued to express doubts about Warsh's independence. Powell presided over what is likely his final Federal Open Market Committee meeting this week as the Fed kept its benchmark rate at 3.50–3.75 percent. Energy-driven inflation pressures and a roughly 50 percent rise in Brent crude since the U.S.–Iran conflict began were cited in assessments; Powell may state at his Wednesday news conference whether he will remain on the Fed board after his chair term ends May 15.

共和党领导层和白宫有望从凯文·沃尔什(Kevin Warsh)的预期确认中获得影响力,因为这符合他们对美联储更倾向于放松利率以及总统优先事项的偏好。
参议院民主党人和主张美联储严格独立的倡导者,如果对沃什的任命和任期内政治化问题的担忧持续存在,他们的话语权将可能减弱。
