Warsh pushes to scale back forward guidance and the dot plot

According to trending discussions on Plaza, #沃什推动缩减前瞻指引和点阵图 is all over the feed today, with people fiercely debating the policy outlook. 📊

Don’t let the word “scale back” scare you. The key question is whether the dot plot really signals a slower pace of rate cuts. Some think scaling back guidance means the Fed is more wary of inflation and that rate hikes could be back on the table. But I see this as just a communications tweak: the dot plot remains dovish, and mortgage rates won’t surge because of it. 🏦

Keep a close eye on three things next: first, when this week’s FOMC minutes are released and what they say; second, whether the specific dots in the plot have actually shifted; and third, whether Warsh’s tone changes in his upcoming public remarks. When you’re watching the numbers flicker on the screen, keep a steady hand.
