Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell directed officials in the central bank to investigate reports of stock trades made by leaders at the Fed’s branches in Dallas and Boston last year.

“This review will assist in identifying ways to further tighten those rules and standards. The Board will make changes, as appropriate, and any changes will be added to the Reserve Bank Code of Conduct,” a Federal Reserve spokesperson said in a statement obtained by The Epoch Times.
