The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh told Congress in his first testimony since taking office May 22 that policymakers have “no tolerance for persistently elevated inflation” and are committed to returning inflation to the Fed’s 2% target. Warsh said high inflation has burdened households and businesses and pledged to make it “a thing of the past,” while calling for a “regime change” in monetary-policy practices. He did not signal whether the Fed’s next move would be a rate hike, cut or hold.
