Fed Falters on Inflation as Warsh Keeps Rates High

The Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates at 3.75 percent has left many wondering if Chairman Kevin Warsh is prioritizing other goals over price stability.

Inflation, as measured by core personal consumption expenditures, is currently running at 3.3 percent, surpassing the Fed's 2 percent target for the first time since February and March 2021.

This development has led some to speculate that Warsh's hawkish stance on monetary policy may be waning, potentially allowing inflation to run higher than desired.
