  • Kevin Warsh Set to Reshape Fed Policy, Risks Market Stability
    May 14, 2026, 4:23 AM EDT. Kevin Warsh begins his term as Federal Reserve chair on May 15, aiming to delever the Fed's $6.7 trillion balance sheet by selling trillions in long-term Treasury bonds. This move could push bond yields higher, effectively raising borrowing costs despite no planned interest rate hikes, potentially unsettling the historically expensive U.S. stock market. Warsh also proposes redefining inflation, moving away from the rigid 2% target to a vaguer concept of price stability, a shift that may introduce uncertainty into monetary policy. These changes pose risks to Wall Street's current bull market momentum, which benefits from low interest rates fueling growth sectors like artificial intelligence.
