Bernanke Testimony & FOMC Minutes in Focus
Today, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will testify to the U.S. Joint Economic Committee on the economic outlook. Bernanke’s testimony is followed by publication of the minutes of the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting from 1 May. Investors will weigh prospects of a possible earlier-than-anticipated end to the central bank’s ultra expansive monetary policy bias. The FOMC minutes are scheduled for release at 8pm CET.
