The Fed story just became more real.
Waller’s confirmation hearing for Fed Chair is now scheduled for April 21.
That may look like a simple calendar update, but it matters because once a date is locked in, the focus starts shifting from rumors to process. From here, people will pay more attention to what his leadership could mean for policy, rates, and the broader market tone.
So this is not a big macro move by itself.
But it is the kind of update that puts the next phase of the Fed conversation into motion.
