Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is holding a news conference on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. to announce his interest rate decision.

Warsh will likely field questions about the Fed policymaker’s decision to hold interest rates steady within the target range of 3.5% to 3.75% at the Fed’s June 2026 meeting.
