JPM’s Kelly Sees Fed’s Warsh Holding Rates in First Vote

David Kelly of JPMorgan Asset Management expects Fed Chair-Elect Kevin Warsh to vote to keep interest rates unchanged at next month’s meeting while working to build consensus with fellow policymakers. The report implies no immediate shift in policy stance and reinforces a wait-and-see approach on rates. The market impact is potentially significant because it concerns Federal Reserve leadership and the near-term path of U.S. monetary policy.
