As obstacles to Kevin Warsh’s confirmation as the next Federal Reserve chair appear to be fading on April 28th, markets are reassessing the potential implications of this shift. AMP Chief Economist Shane Oliver noted that Warsh is committed to upholding the Fed’s independence and may prioritize AI transformation over employment. He also pointed out Warsh could emphasize trimmed mean inflation over core PCE, though this might be viewed as cherry-picking. Oliver added that Warsh’s stance may be slightly more dovish than Powell’s, but there would be no fundamental difference. (Source: FXStreet)

April 28th — Billionaire investor Ray Dalio warned the U.S. economy has entered a period of stagflation, and called a potential interest rate cut by Kevin Warsh (the expected next Federal Reserve Chair) a mistake. Dalio noted Warsh is widely expected to take the Fed’s top job in mid-May. A rate cut from Warsh at that time, he said, could undermine market confidence in the central bank at a critical moment. While acknowledging ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions, Dalio added the recent sharp rebound in U.S. stocks is justified by strong corporate earnings. Still, he recommended allocating 5% to 15% of portfolios to gold, labeling it an “effective diversification tool.”
