    Fed Chair Warsh Maintains Hawkish Stance Despite Cooling June CPI

    Question

    Fed Chair Warsh Maintains Hawkish Stance Despite Cooling June CPI

    Direct answer

    Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's recent Congressional testimony has introduced significant volatility into interest rate markets. Despite a favorable June CPI report showing a 0.4% monthly decline, Warsh emphasized that the battle against inflation is not over. This disconnect between softening data and hawkish rhetoric suggests the Fed is wary of declaring victory too early. Markets are now repricing the probability of a July hike, which had briefly plummeted following the inflation print.
