Markets Await Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's Remarks for Rate Direction Clues

The upcoming address by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is expected to shape market expectations about interest-rate moves over the next year. While traders largely anticipate at least one rate hike, Warsh's perspective on whether inflation stems from temporary shocks or lasting forces remains unclear. One outlet's poll shows 80% of economists want more insight, yet Warsh has urged listeners to focus on the discussion rather than seek direct guidance. Goldman Sachs' chief US economist cautions that the speech is unlikely to contain explicit policy signals.
