Coming up at 1415 US ET (which is 1915 GMT) the U.S. Senate banking committee is to vote on Federal Reserve nominees
- Jerome Powell as Fed Chair
- Lael Brainard as Fed Vice Chair
- and new nominees to the Board of Governors Lisa Cook, Philip Jefferson and Sarah Bloom Raskin.
I suspect they'll be approved but there is scope for some of the obstreperous Senators to throw a spanner in the works.
