Jeffrey Gundlach says Fed's Warsh is not going to be the 'easy money' chairman many hoped for

Gundlach said Warsh's stance lowers the risk of overly accommodative monetary policy that could reignite inflation and push longer-term borrowing costs higher. The comment is hawkish for rate-sensitive assets, implying a preference for tighter policy and potentially higher yields. Market impact is limited because this is commentary rather than a policy decision.
