WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s testimony to Congress’s Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday has been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date, the committee said Monday.
Powell was slated to discuss the economic outlook with the panel, but Wednesday was declared a national day of mourning following the death of President George H.W. Bush. No new date for the rescheduled testimony has been announced.
