    Question

    Fed Chair Warsh Reaffirms 2% Inflation Target; Traders Price 86% Hold Probability

    Direct answer

    In his latest congressional testimony, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh emphasized that the central bank remains committed to its 2% inflation mandate. This comes as the market has largely converged on a 'hold' scenario for the upcoming July 29 meeting. The 86% probability of no change suggests that unless macro data shifts significantly in the next 72 hours, the Fed is likely to maintain current restrictive levels to ensure price stability.
