A new date for his hearing has not yet been scheduled, the source said, as the Senate Banking Committee is still waiting to receive Warsh’s paperwork.
Hearing was initially set for April 16th.
It’s a “paperwork issue” similar to one that Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins encountered, since both Atkins and Warsh have particularly complex financial disclosures due to their high net worths, the source said.

Context

This situation could signal a potential postponement in any policy shifts, leading traders to reassess their positioning, particularly in USD and interest rate-sensitive assets. Keep an eye on how this might influence market sentiment as the Senate Banking Committee resolves the paperwork issue.
