The Warsh Fed Will Look Nothing Like Before | Joseph Wang

June 18, 2026 · 40 min

Show notes

A new Fed chair has arrived, and the implications could be far bigger than a single rate decision.


Joseph Wang, former Fed trader and creator of Fed Guy, joins Forward Guidance immediately after Kevin Warsh’s first FOMC meeting to unpack what may be the beginning of a fundamental transformation of the Federal Reserve.


We discuss Warsh’s hawkish debut, the end of the forward guidance era, sweeping Fed task forces, potential changes to the inflation framework, AI and productivity, and why all of this could point to a meaningful repricing of risk assets. Enjoy!
