Fed Chair Kevin Warsh says rate hikes may be needed as inflation stays high

That backdrop typically pressures risk assets via higher real yields and tighter financial conditions, while supporting USD strength. With the next FOMC meeting in mid-September and markets pricing potential hikes by year-end, rate-sensitive assets and duration-heavy exposures may see elevated volatility.

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh said inflation remains too high, signaling the central bank may have to raise interest rates. Warsh, who took over from Jerome Powell on May 22, has drawn market attention for how he will approach tightening. The Fed’s next meeting is scheduled for September 15-16, and inflation was 3.7% in July. Powell had responded to inflation that hit 9.1% in 2022 with aggressive rate increases and said the move would bring pain to consumers and businesses.
