Fed Chair Warsh Tells Congress FOMC Has 'No Tolerance for Persistently Elevated Inflation' in First Testimony

According to Kitco News, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh testified before Congress for the first time in his role, reaffirming the Federal Open Market Committee's commitment to price stability. "Underlying inflation over longer time horizons is determined largely by monetary policy," Warsh said, adding that FOMC members "have no tolerance for persistently elevated inflation." He characterized the U.S. economy as expanding at a solid pace, with strong productivity growth and a broadly stable labor market, though he noted that the housing sector "continues to lag." Warsh highlighted surging business investment—particularly in data centers and AI-related equipment—as "the most striking feature of the economy right now."
