President Donald Trump on Tuesday shifted his message for the Federal Reserve, suggesting he'll give some slack to incoming Fed chair Kevin Warsh after putting unprecedented pressure on the U.S. central bank for more than a year.
A majority of Federal Reserve officials warned the central bank would likely need to consider raising interest rates if inflation continued to run persistently above their 2% target. President Donald Trump on Tuesday shifted his message for the Federal Reserve, suggesting he'll give some slack to incoming Fed chair Kevin Warsh after putting unprecedented pressure on the U.S. central bank for more than a year. For most of 2026, Wall Street has traded on one big assumption: once President Donald Trump replaces Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, lower interest rates will follow.
That expectation helped fuel rallies in rate-sensitive sectors like homebuilders, regional banks, and small-cap stocks earlier this year. But markets may be getting ahead of themselves.
Bloomberg reported the story as "Fed Minutes Show More Officials Warned of Rate-Hike Scenario." The New York Times reported the story as "Why a Warsh-Led Fed May Keep Interest Rates Steady." Washington Examiner reported the story as "Trump going to let Warsh 'do what he wants to do' at Fed with rates."
