The Fed Chair Jerome Powell will testify on the Semi-Annual Monetary Policy Report before the House Financial Services Committee on June 22-23 at 17:00 GMT+3. During this event, the head of the Federal Reserve will highlight current Fed monetary policy, comment on challenges and provide forecasts. After the session, the committee will hold a question and answer session.
