A headache is already emerging for Kevin Warsh at the Fed: Some members aren’t just resisting a rate cut, they’re open to a hike

Kevin Warsh, Trump's nominee to lead the Federal Reserve, faces internal resistance from some Fed members who are open to raising interest rates rather than cutting them, despite economic data supporting rate reductions. Recent inflation and employment data favor Warsh's dovish stance, but FOMC meeting minutes reveal several members would support hikes if conditions warrant, creating potential conflict with the White House's rate-cut agenda.
