Warsh's gamble: A quieter Federal Reserve could mean volatile markets, higher rates

New Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is significantly reducing the central bank's communication, particularly "forward guidance" on interest rates. This move, aimed at making markets less reliant on Fed signals, has already caused market volatility. Analysts warn this could lead to higher borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, contrasting with previous chairs who used guidance to stabilize markets and lower rates.
