Jerome Powell

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is opening a new front in a campaign against a familiar foe — demanding that the Federal Reserve keep its restrictions on Wells Fargo until Chief Executive Officer Tim Sloan is removed.

Main Street and Wall Street banks show strong earnings gains over last year; the president calls the Fed’s rate raising policies “my biggest threat.”

President Trump said he won't fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell but blamed an "out of control" U.S. central bank for the worst stock market sell-off since February.

For more than a year, the central bank has been under pressure to speed the development of a real-time payment system. But it faces tough questions about what its own role should be.

Republicans are calling on the central bank to relieve all banks with less than $250 billion of assets from enhanced supervision that was established after the crisis.

Another regulator has already gone out on its own with an advance notice of proposed rulemaking. But, Powell said, "It’s a process and we’re very much interested in pushing forward.”

Whereas most regulators appointed in the Trump administration are focused on rolling back the post-crisis framework, Nellie Liang helped create it.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the fundamentals of the U.S. economic expansion look strong and support the case for continued gradual interest rate increases.

As director of the Fed's Division of Research and Statistics, David Wilcox is responsible for briefing the Federal Open Market Committee on the outlook for the national economy.

Lawmakers fear that regional banks could still get stung as the central bank implements a new law meant to ease their burden.

Echoing House members, five Republican senators called on the Federal Reserve Board to rethink its surcharge in order to eliminate “excessive” capital requirements.

The Federal Reserve’s forthcoming rules for banks with assets of $100 billion-$250 billion hinge on their perceived risk to the financial system.

In a letter to heads of five federal regulators, Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown and Jeff Merkley say the public should know the impact of Volcker in light of proposed changes.

The letter from 29 Republicans, including some who may chair the House Financial Services Committee next year, urges the Federal Reserve’s top regulator to "recalibrate" the capital surcharge for banks like JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup.

It may be unprecedented, but it was hardly surprising. Still, it comes at a dangerous time for the Fed. Here’s why.

The Fed's top regulatory official suggested that some banks could get a break from filing resolution plans and see the frequency of their stress tests reduced.

The central bank has encountered criticism for allowing three banks to direct funds to dividends and buybacks even though their capital levels fell below required minimums.

The chairman of the Federal Reserve is testifying before Congress this week, where he will likely face tough questions about the agency’s decision to let two banks slide on their exams late last month.

The industry is slated for another busy week, with more bank results on the horizon, plus a nomination hearing for Trump’s pick to head the CFPB.

The central bank's rule-writing workload is expected to remain busy for the foreseeable future, thanks in large part to enactment of the recent regulatory relief bill.
