There is some speculation that Kevin Warsh won’t give much forward-looking policy indications at all…
That is because he’s previously said he doesn’t think forward signals like this are useful outside of economic crises.
This speech could focus on bigger issues, such as how he plans to run the world’s most important central bank, and also what changes he will make and when.
While not offering direct guidance on the future of interest rates, everything he says will be scrutinised by investors, and changes that he plans to make could still trigger market volatility.”
