Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Randal Quarles speaks at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.
Quarles’ remarks come after Fed Chair Jerome Powell testified that “crosscurrents” from lingering trade fears and weaker economic data overseas are dampening the U.S. economy’s outlook moving forward. Powell’s testimony increased expectations that the Fed will cut rates later this month.
