Warsh Declines to Preview Rates — Is the October Hike Question Still Open?

On October 16, Warsh said in a fireside chat at the IMF that he will not prejudge Fed meetings or disclose in advance the decisions for the remaining meetings this year, gave no clear guidance on whether the Fed hikes in October, and reiterated the commitment to price stability. He also stayed optimistic on the U.S. economy and investment outlook, describing AI as a positive supply shock. With CPI and PPI both coming in above expectations, how inflation pressure and growth resilience shape the rate path remains the market's focus. As the Fed enters its quiet period, the next key date is the October 27–28 meeting. Do you think the Fed hikes again in October, or leaves it for December?
