Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is scheduled to speak on Thursday, October 15, at 11:30 PM ET at the IMF meetings in Bangkok. Following September's hotter-than-expected inflation report, market expectations for another Fed rate hike ahead of the October 27–28 meeting have risen. Warsh's remarks could reshape these expectations before the Fed enters its blackout period. Persistent inflation poses a risk of additional rate hikes in December and potentially into 2027.
