A preview of Kevin Warsh's nomination hearing at the Senate Banking Committee to become the next chairman of the Federal Reserve led Bloomberg Intelligence's April 20 Washington Policy Pulse. While Warsh likely has the votes, Senator Thom Tillis will probably stick to his vow not to advance Warsh until an investigation into the Fed is resolved. We also discussed upcoming testimony from US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and the likelihood of future tariffs. Finally, we discussed ongoing efforts to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement via the reconciliation process. Instructions for a deal around $75 billion could be released as soon as tomorrow.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC. 

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration
