Summary
Committee members pressed the manager on whether Fed Chair Warsh — a Trump appointee — might cut rates under political pressure despite inflation near 4%. The manager argued the data don't support cuts, the FOMC decides by consensus, and markets now see a coin-flip chance of a rate hike by March 2027.
