📍 The outcome
The coverage highlighted Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s testimony that inflation remained too high, his assertion of “no tolerance” for inflation and a “new course” on monetary policy, and analysts’ expectations that rates would hold steady through 2026. Commentary also noted his silence, potential policy twists toward higher Fed rates with lower mortgage rates, and political tension with former President Trump.

The brief
Market odds of a July Fed rate hike fell to 16% – down from 42% the day before – after Chair Kevin Warsh testified before Congress on July 14 and warned that inflation remains too high. The sharp shift signals that the Fed’s next policy move may be more restrained.
Borrowers, mortgage lenders and bond investors feel the impact as lower odds translate into softer expectations for short‑term rate hikes. Morgan analysts, cited by The Motley Fool, anticipate rates holding steady through 2026, raising the stakes for financial markets and policymakers.
Future attention will turn to upcoming Fed minutes, any further congressional remarks, and the next inflation report, which could confirm or alter the current trajectory. Investors will watch for signals on whether Warsh’s “new course” on monetary policy materializes, and how it might affect mortgage pricing and broader credit conditions.
