Brian Quintenz Set for CFTC Senate Hearing

Brian Quintenz, nominated as chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will appear before the Senate Agriculture Committee for a hearing on June 10. Previously, Quintenz served as a CFTC commissioner from 2017 to 2021. The hearing will occur at 3:00 PM as per the committee's website.
