Fed's Warsh gives no rate signal, calls AI path 'very bumpy'

–

Neutral summary

Speaking at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said that since September's rate hike "the world has broadly conformed to our expectations," and offered no explicit signal about October: "I don't prejudge meetings. I don't believe in saying now what I might do at the meetings that we have in the balance of this year," Axios reported. The remarks came just before the Fed's standard pre-meeting blackout period ahead of the Oct. 27-28 policy meeting. Warsh vowed to maintain price stability, saying technological change is complicating the outlook for central banks as policymakers grapple with persistent inflation risks. He also warned of financial stability risks as investment rises, according to Nikkei Asia. Bloomberg reported that investors dialed back bets on an October hike after his remarks, with US equity futures wavering. Ámbito and El Financiero wrote that Wall Street interpreted his reticence as a sign that no change is coming at the October meeting. Fortune noted that investors liked what they didn't hear and began buying the dip, rotating out of tech.
