Kevin Warsh has held his first meeting as the new Federal Reserve Chairman, and the Fed has decided to keep interest rates unchanged.
In this video, we explain the latest US Fed meeting in simple language. The Federal Reserve kept its policy rate in the 3.50% to 3.75% range, but the bigger story was not just the rate decision — it was the change in communication.
Under Kevin Warsh, the Fed has reduced clear future guidance. Earlier, markets used to look for signals on whether the Fed would cut rates or hike rates in the coming months. But Warsh has now indicated that the Fed will not pre-commit to future rate moves.
In simple words, the Fed will now decide meeting-by-meeting based on the latest economic data.
The Fed also admitted that inflation is still above its 2% target. Because of this, the risk of a rate hike by the end of 2026 is still alive.
After the announcement, US markets fell, while short-term bond yields moved higher. This happened because investors were expecting a more rate-cut-friendly Fed, especially because Donald Trump had earlier supported aggressive rate cuts.
But Kevin Warsh’s first meeting shows that the Fed is not moving in that direction yet.
In this video, we explain:
Who is Kevin Warsh?
What happened in his first Fed meeting?
Why did the Fed keep interest rates unchanged?
What is the meaning of no forward guidance?
Why inflation is still a problem for the Fed
Why rate hike risk is still alive in 2026
Why US markets fell after the Fed announcement
