What can consumers expect from inflation over the next few months? Lael Brainard, a distinguished fellow at @GUFinPolicy and former Fed vice chair, believes we'll see price increases but not ongoing inflation.

As for the labor market, we're currently seeing a growth picture that is "low hiring but also low firing," Brainard said.

As banks look to adopt digital innovations such as #AI, Michelle Bowman, Vice Chair for Supervision of the @federalreserve, said at #FMQ that regulators must provide financial institutions with guardrails.

Small banks in particular need to understand "these are activities we are not criticizing," she said. But they want to ensure the banks maintain their safety.

What's next for digital assets legislation? @PatrickMcHenry, a Distinguished Fellow at @GUFinPolicy, said he believes we'll see a law that is 90-95% the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 ("Clarity Act"), which has passed the House of Representatives.

@NandiniSukumar, CEO of @TheWFE, pointed out that what's driving the conversation around 24/7 trading is the demand for U.S. equities from non-U.S. players.

Our 'Evolving Markets and Technology' panelists have seen massive change during their time working in the business of financial markets, but, as Billy Hult, CEO of @Tradeweb, put it, “this is go time."

[GU Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy @GUFinPolicy]

We're off to a strong start at #FMQ! We've heard from several thought leaders in policy and finance, including Michelle Bowman discussing stress test frameworks, as well as @RostinBehnam and @PatrickMcHenry discussing the roles of legislation versus regulation. Plus, we had the privilege to attend two panels discussing innovations in cryptocurrency and evolving markets and technology.

Stay tuned for more!

Will the dollar still be the reserve currency in 10 years? David Schwimmer, CEO of @LSEGplc said yes during a #FMQ panel today.

[GU Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy @GUFinPolicy]

In conversation with @ProfAggarwal, Bowman also discussed her main priorities at the Fed, including rightsizing and assessing the large bank capital requirements.

As for interest rates, she said the Fed may implement three interest rate cuts by the end of the year. She added that the Fed is within range of its mandate when it comes to inflation, so it's time to shift focus to proactively supporting labor market conditions.

[Dan Gallagher @DanGallagherDC]

Excited to speak at @GUFinPolicy's #FMQ next week! Join me and my fellow panelists as we discuss the evolving digital assets landscape.
