The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, but Chairman Kevin Warsh delivered one of his clearest statements yet about how he wants the Fed to operate. In this press conference, Warsh explains why the Federal Reserve is stepping back from forward guidance, why markets should respond to economic data instead of Fed messaging, why Treasury yields have already tightened financial conditions without additional rate hikes, and why the Fed remains committed to returning inflation to its 2% target. Warsh also discusses AI-driven capital spending, stronger business investment, the role of financial markets in setting policy, inflation expectations, Jackson Hole, and the debate inside the FOMC following a 9-3 vote to hold interest rates steady.
