The Kevin Warsh era at the Federal Reserve began with a jolt on Wall Street, with investors bracing for sharp moves as the central bank pulls back from signaling possible future interest rate moves.
The Fed held interest rates steady as expected on Wednesday, but new projections and comments from Warsh, who was presiding over his first meeting as chair, blindsided traders and led markets to price in a possible hike within months. Investors are now confronting a more opaque Fed under Warsh, one that is retreating from forward guidance and overhauling its messaging - a shift that could inject fresh volatility into markets.
His first policy statement dropped guidance on the future path of rates, while he signalled possible changes to how the Fed communicates, interprets data, and approaches inflation.

Alan Greenspan, hailed as the greatest Federal Reserve chairman when he retired in 2006 but derided for a severe financial crisis that followed barely two years later, died on Monday, aged 100, his wife said. Greenspan, who exerted a powerful influence on the U.S. economy during his tenure at the helm of the Fed from August 1987 to January 2006, died at his home from complications of Parkinson's Disease, Andrea Mitchell said in a statement. "He was a giant of a man who helped shape the U.S. economy for decades under presidents of both parties, but was always honest in acknowledging his mistakes," Mitchell said.

This author -- I -- state that he was the most important Fed Chairman of my lifetime. Rest in peace, Maestro.

Last week's stock market debut of Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX.O) opens a new tab is forcing providers of equity indexes to reconcile two often-conflicting objectives: Do they stick to their inclusion rules or revise them to reflect changes in the market they are targeting? Financial advisers and asset managers agree that both goals can be in the interests of investors – but navigating the tension between the two requires forethought about the risk tolerance and appetite for volatility implicit in indexing decisions that have often been presented as one-size-fits-all.

June 12th's stock market debut of Elon Musk's SpaceX (SPCX.O), opens a new tab, forcing providers of equity indexes to reconcile two often-conflicting objectives: Do they stick to their inclusion rules or revise them to reflect changes in the market they are targeting?

On Wednesday, the U.S. and Iran released their 14-point memorandum of understanding, which has been signed by President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. The MoU includes an immediate end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, the full resumption of maritime traffic "with no charge" in the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, the waiving of U.S. sanctions on Iran, the unfreezing of its assets and a $300 billion investment fund for the Islamic Republic's post-war reconstruction. While it's unclear whether the Strait will remain toll-free after the 60-day period ends, energy markets certainly appear to believe that energy shipments will soon be flowing at high levels through the narrow waterway, as Brent crude fell early on Thursday to around $78 per barrel.

The Fed policy statement and press conference both appeared to signal a hawkish tilt, prompting futures markets to price in a bigger chance of a rate hike as soon as September. Warsh told reporters that the central bank would "deliver on price stability", while new quarterly projections - which he did not participate in - showed nine of 19 policymakers expected a rate hike by the end of 2026. President Donald Trump - who sharply criticized former Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not lowering rates - appeared to take this in his stride, saying on Wednesday that he would be guided by what Warsh wants.

The SpaceX initial public offering was, by all accounts, a major success, and it has stayed red hot out of the gate. On Tuesday, its third day of trading, the stock peaked over $225 a share, before closing well off the highs at $201.68. For much of the day, Elon Musk’s rocket-and-AI company had a market capitalization larger than Amazon, which is worth $2.65 trillion. They finished the day roughly even. The question to ask now: Has the IPO and early trading revealed the true demand for SpaceX stock, or are we still in the honeymoon period, when it cannot be overvalued and do no wrong, before reality starts to settle in?

The Wednesday afternoon decline in the S&P 500 after Federal Reserve officials signaled possible interest rate hikes to tamp down inflation accelerated into the close. While the Fed opted to keep rates unchanged at the end of Kevin Warsh’s first monetary policy meeting as Fed chairman, it was the so-called dot-plot of what central bankers see for rates and the economy that spooked the markets.
