The Fed Pivot Under Warsh Is More Hawkish Than Markets Bargained For

This episode examines the emerging policy divergence between a cautious FOMC and market expectations. Lucas and Luna unpack Chairman Warsh's decision to abstain from a rate forecast while several committee members signal a 2026 hike, and why the market's initial optimism may be premature. They look at the VIX's drop to 16.55 alongside the VVIX's sharper decline, and what that suggests about complacency. With the S&P 500 at 7,509 and the Nasdaq surging 2.6% in five days, they question whether the 'Warsh put' is as generous as traders hope. Jeffrey Gundlach's warning that Warsh won't be easy money is dissected, and the hosts connect the dot between hawkish Fed rhetoric and the rotation into small caps. A focused, data-driven conversation for investors trying to read the new Fed. #FedPivot #KevinWarsh #HawkishFed #RateHike2026 #FOMC #Gundlach #StockMarket #SP500 #Nasdaq #VIX #VVIX #SmallCaps #Rotation #MarketComplacency #Finance #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
