Sarah Hunt of Alpine Saxon Woods believes Fed Chair Warsh did a good job of redefining his role and setting parameters, but the market should not expect the same consistent communication and handholding seen since the financial crisis. She suggests Warsh is trying to make the case that the Fed is attacking inflation, and the market will need to parse information differently.
“I think that the market had some expectations of him, especially after the earlier speeches that were, that didn't, let's just say they didn't hit the way that I think that they were intended to. And I think that he did a good job of redefining. Here's my job. Here's what I want to do. Here's what's here. What's what I think is wrong. Here's the parameters that I'm looking at,”
“but I don't think that you're going to get the same kind of consistent talk and handholding that we've had since arguably the financial crisis.”
“And I think that, you know, there was some concern post the first two that there was not an attack on inflation. And I think that he is trying very hard to make that case.”
