Fed Chair Kevin Warsh says inflation remains too high as risks ease
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh said inflation is still running too high, but the risk outlook has eased, speaking at a European Central Bank event. He declined to provide guidance on the Fed’s future interest-rate path and reiterated a shift away from offering “forward guidance.” The summary cited a U.S.-Iran truce that sent oil prices plunging and gasoline prices lower, easing inflation pressure. The federal funds rate remains in a 3.5%–3.75% range, even as markets still price in rate-hike expectations for later this year amid shifting geopolitical conditions.
