  • Warsh said inflation is not meaningfully slowing and that policymakers have more work to do before they are confident it is returning to target.
  • Bond traders responded to Warsh’s hawkish tone by increasing rate-hike bets after long-dated Treasury yields had reached a nearly two-decade high earlier in the month.
  • Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said inflation remains elevated and described signs of an overheating economy, including GDP growth driven largely by AI and data-center investment.
