Fed Chair Kevin Warsh May Have Driven a Dagger Into Wall Street's Heart With This Blunt 7-Word Statement
Warsh's ideological overhaul of the central bank isn't the best news for a stock market that's priced for perfection.
Overview
This has been a year packed with history-making moments for Wall Street and investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) exploded to new highs, the largest-ever initial public offering took shape, and the nation's foremost financial institution has a new leader.
Following roughly eight years at the helm, Jerome Powell's final day as Fed chair was May 15. President Donald Trump's handpicked successor, Kevin Warsh, officially took over on May 22. Warsh is only the 17th Fed chair since the central bank's founding in December 1913.
Details
When new Fed chairs grab the proverbial reins, it's not uncommon for changes to be made. But with Kevin Warsh, Wall Street may be looking at a complete ideological overhaul -- and that's not the best news for a historically expensive stock market.
