You can bet there will be questions when the Senate Banking Committee hosts Kevin Warsh the nominee to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell and that is where we start this evening. This is the Business News Headlines for Thursday the 16th day of April, thanks for listening. In other news, Walmart is redesigning their Great Value brand…and why. More cattle on feed…might that lower the price of beef? Europe has a jet fuel problem and AP has the story. Jobless claims fell last week and we’ll share those numbers. Speaking of numbers we’ll check what happened today in The Wall Street Report and some financial concerns over at QVC…can you believe it?
