United States — Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh testified before the House Financial Services Committee and Senate Banking Committee on July 14-15, 2026, reiterating his determination to bring down inflation without specifying policy actions. He emphasized a more circumspect communication approach, convening task forces to review Fed communications. Meanwhile, Fed Governor Lisa Cook stated she is prepared to act if disinflation does not appear, New York Fed President John Williams said policy is well-positioned, and Governor Christopher Waller said he needs several months of easing inflation. The contrast highlights internal Fed divisions on communication and policy outlook amid Middle East conflict and AI-driven price pressures.
