What ‘regime change’ does Kevin Warsh have in mind at the US Federal Reserve?
Kevin Warsh's Fed appointment follows Powell's term, marked by challenges to central bank independence. Warsh's monetary views are ambiguous; once hawkish, he might align with Trump's lower rate demands. He faces a critical dilemma: balancing rising inflation against political pressure for cuts. Warsh advocates "regime change" and tighter administration coordination. His dim view of the Fed's bloated balance sheet could lead to bond selling, impacting yields. His leadership will profoundly influence the global economy, navigating economic necessities and political expectations.
