    Fed Chair Warsh Signals Hawkish 2026 Path; Markets Price September Hike

    Question

    Fed Chair Warsh Signals Hawkish 2026 Path; Markets Price September Hike

    Direct answer

    Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has effectively reset market expectations for the 2026 rate path. By explicitly stating that price levels remain unacceptable, he has shifted the narrative from 'higher for longer' to 'higher for even longer.' The 52% probability of a September hike represents a significant hawkish shift in the OIS curve. This move directly challenges the 'soft landing' narrative that had supported mega-cap tech valuations throughout the first half of the year.
