Kevin M. Warsh, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, said an βinformation-richβ period before the central bankβs gathering in December will help officials determine next steps for policy.
The Federal Reserve kept its key rate unchanged Wednesday at about 3.9% despite stubbornly high inflation, while providing little hint about the central bank's next moves.
The Fed's Oct. 27-28 meeting will be the fourth of Chairman Kevin Warsh's tenure, which has been marked by questions regarding his independence from President Donald Trump, who appointed him earlier this year.
Kevin M. Warsh, chairman of the Federal Reserve, said that the central bank had more work to do to tame inflation, but that there was no urgency to raise rates at consecutive meetings.
