United States — Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh testified before the Senate on July 15, 2026, evading questions on AI's impact on inflation, his contacts with President Donald Trump, and how the Fed will determine inflation persistence. Warsh downplayed positive inflation data showing consumer prices fell month-over-month for the first time in six years and wholesale inflation slowed. He cited a task force studying data sources and noted the Fed's rate-setting committee is divided on raising rates due to AI infrastructure demand. Warsh reiterated his independence from political pressure but did not confirm whether he has spoken with Trump. Companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Dell have raised prices on electronics due to soaring costs of computer memory and processing chips.
