Kevin Warsh, the candidate nominated to head the Federal Reserve Board by US President Donald Trump, has pledged to defend the regulator's independence if he is confirmed. In an open-ended speech, with which Warsh plans to address the US Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday, April 21, he says the Fed should be largely free of political influence but remain focused on its core tasks. "The Fed's independence depends largely on the Fed itself," he says in the text, which <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000019d-ab72-db52-adbf-fb7aa0e00000">was obtained</a> by Politico.

The war in the Middle East, which caused a sharp rise in oil prices, is forcing investors to radically revise their forecasts on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Traders now estimate almost 50% probability of a rate hike this year, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/63d642a9-2499-4969-af15-8bc282e4ce43?syn-25a6b1a6=1">writes the</a> Financial Times.

Radical reversal: traders have started to put a Fed rate hike in their forecasts 

The US Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates unless it sees progress on inflation this year, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said. However, he himself expects a slowdown in inflation to become noticeable by the middle of the year as the effect of duties diminishes. U.S. stocks accelerated their decline on the back of Powell's press conference - after an unexpectedly high rise in wholesale prices and the Fed's decision to leave the rate unchanged.
