- *Next meetings:* Oct 28 and Dec 8-9 — regular FOMC — not emergency
- *Fed Chair now listed as Kevin Warsh* per Sep press conference / minutes (succeeded Powell in recent docs) — said "plain fact is inflation is too high and has been for too long"
- *The 4:30 AM claim:* Originated from crypto meme accounts recycling Mar 2020 / SVB Mar 2023 pattern + Trump Fed pick rumor (Warsh/Hassett finalists) — no 4:30 AM briefing on Fed docket — such times used only for major market holidays / war
If there were a crisis briefing it would be:
1. Fed Board press release at 8:00-8:30 AM ET (standard emergency slot)
2. ECB/BIS coordinated statement
3. Trading halt notice — none posted
Stay cautious on rumor. Real catalysts tomorrow: US 10Y auction results 1pm + Initial claims 8:30am + any White House announcement on Fed Chair successor (Trump said Friday morning announcement coming).
