## Resource

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh faces a high-stakes dilemma: markets expect rate hikes to tame stubborn inflation above 2%, but President Trump pressures him for lower rates—complicated by a personal connection through his father-in-law. After holding steady in July and pushing long-term rates higher, Warsh may finally hike this week, risking political fallout or sparking renewed market volatility. Economists warn that acting now could stabilize longer-term rates, while Wall Street bets on multiple hikes—but future data could shift the course.
