  • Fed Chair Nominee Kevin Warsh Challenges Powell on Fed Balance Sheet Policy Impacting Markets
    May 3, 2026, 4:10 AM EDT. Kevin Warsh, poised to become Federal Reserve chairman, diverges sharply from Jerome Powell on the Fed's use of its balance sheet, a key tool alongside interest rates. While Powell's approach involves buying long-term bonds to influence rates, Warsh advocates shrinking the Fed's $6 trillion securities holdings. This reduction could drive bond prices down, pushing long-term interest rates up, with broad effects on financial markets, including stocks. The move risks market disruption, as seen in 2019 and 2022 when past balance sheet reductions triggered rate spikes. Warsh acknowledges a gradual unwind is needed but warns investors should expect significant market impacts. His stance signals potential shifts in Fed policy strategy amid ongoing political pressure to lower the fed funds rate.
