Extended read

In his first FOMC meeting, Chair Kevin Warsh broke from the previous regime's dovishness. He explicitly stated the committee will 'deliver price stability,' a phrase interpreted by markets as a commitment to higher-for-longer or further hikes. The dot plot now shows a 50% split on whether hikes are necessary this year, a significant shift from expectations of cuts earlier in the cycle.
