By WSJ Staff

Two senior Federal Reserve officials are due to speak at events on Monday. Though their appearances were scheduled before the news broke of the investigation into Chair Jerome Powell, investors will scrutinize their remarks for any comments about the probe or the central bank's independence.

-- New York Fed President John Williams, seen as a close ally of Powell, is scheduled to appear at a Council on Foreign Relations event.

-- Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, who is retiring next month, is due to moderate a discussion with the chief executive of the New York Stock Exchange. Bostic, a hawkish voice recently, has generally been near the center of the Fed's rate-setting committee.
