TrendMacro CIO Donald Luskin talks with Paul Gigot about the debut FOMC meeting for Fed chair Kevin Warsh. 

Update to Strategic View

Was Warsh's commitment to price stability a form of "forward guidance"? Or given Warsh's preference for "trimmed mean" inflation measures, currently at just 2.3%, are we already there? With knives out for him at the Fed, Warsh is moving slowly to build consensus for an ambitious reform program. His renunciation of the Phillips Curve canard that growth causes inflation already makes him one of the most consequential Fed chairs in history.
