Loretta Mester, who previously voted on U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) policy for a decade, criticized a recent press conference by Fed official Warsh. Mester stated that the press conference generated an unusual market reaction due to what Warsh didn't say, rather than what he did. She expressed concern, saying, "I don't think it's sustainable, what he's doing, in terms of not saying anything," and added, "I actually want more from my Fed. I want to feel comfortable that the Fed knows what it is doing."
