    Fed Chair Warsh prioritizes 'Price Stability' over growth

    Question

    Fed Chair Warsh prioritizes 'Price Stability' over growth

    Direct answer

    Kevin Warsh's first major policy signals suggest a return to strict inflation targeting. By emphasizing price stability, he is preparing the market for potential rate hikes or a 'higher for longer' regime. This is particularly concerning for the semiconductor and cloud sectors, which rely on massive debt-funded or cash-intensive infrastructure builds. Microsoft alone has projected $190B in AI spending for 2026.
