Inflation pressures raise prospect of Fed rate hike on eve of elections (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SAN FRANCISCO/WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Mounting inflation pressures and a strengthening economy look to be pushing the Federal Reserve towards an interest-rate hike on the eve of critical national elections, with traders on Wednesday piling into bets on a second straight policy tightening in late October. A closely watched measure of US business activity, S&P Global's flash US Composite PMI Output Index, jumped this month to its highest level since July 2021, S&P Global reported on Wedn
Fed's table is set for a rate hike, a first under Warsh (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sept 14 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh dislikes giving any guidance about the likely path of U.S. interest rates, but elevated inflation, $100-a-barrel oil, and his own emphasis on the need to deliver price stability and to pay attention to signals from financial market pricing appear to leave little doubt about what's next.

Or where central bankers, who in recent decades have moved toward more transparency, must speak in opaque terms and act in unpredictable ways to keep AI agents from gaming the system. Or where mon
Fed chief Warsh faces hard choice on inflation after bond market's 'red flag' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
July 31 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's emphatic declarations on Wednesday that inflation would be brought down without signaling a readiness to raise interest rates triggered a sharp selloff in bonds that may force a hard choice: defying President Donald Trump's desire for easier monetary policy or battling a growing cadre of fellow U.S. central bankers determined to tighten it. Complicating matters was Warsh's hint that he may try to switch up the Fed's yardstick for succes
