Fed Chair Warsh signals strong commitment to price stability

Kevin Warsh, in his first Federal Reserve policy statement as chair, included a single, unqualified sentence stating, "The Committee will deliver price stability." This statement, according to economist Laura Ullrich, signals a strong, unhedged commitment that deviates from typical Fed language. The minutes also revealed internal divisions within the Federal Open Market Committee regarding future interest rate hikes, with a unanimous vote to hold rates steady for the fourth consecutive meeting but disagreement on whether rates should increase by year-end.
