The US Senate voted 51 to 45 on May 12 to confirm Kevin Walsh as the next Federal Reserve chairman, succeeding Jerome Powell whose term ends on May 15. Walsh previously served as a Fed governor from 2006 to 2011 and is known for his criticism of quantitative easing. He has said he plans institutional reforms at the Fed, including closer coordination with the Treasury and balance sheet reduction. Markets are watching closely for the policy direction under the new chair.
