Kevin Warsh just dropped his first FOMC speech and the market got 7 nuclear signals:

1. Inflation MUST hit 2% - zero compromise

Hawkish as hell. Whatever it takes, even if it means MORE rate hikes.

2. Fed stops spoonfeeding the market

No more forward guidance, no dot plots. Stop trying to front-run their moves.

3. Rates staying higher for longer than you think

Currently at 3.5%-3.75%. No cuts expected in 2026. 9 officials see at least ONE hike coming this year.

4. AI = America's growth engine

Structural cost deflation from AI = non-inflationary growth. Bullish for tech, but won't save you from rate pain.

5. No recession on the horizon

GDP up, capex strong, productivity rising, jobs stable. Soft landing narrative holds.

6. Warsh goes full Elon mode - restructuring everything

5 new task forces launched:

- Fed communication overhaul

- Balance sheet review

- Data framework rebuild

- AI & employment impact

- Inflation targeting refresh

First principles thinking coming to the Fed.

7. Fed stepping back = market repricing itself

Expect HIGHER volatility. No more hand-holding.

TLDR: Rates staying elevated, Fed going dark on guidance, AI thesis validated but won't stop the pain train if inflation doesn't cooperate. Strap in.
