- Kevin Warsh made his debut as Fed Chair in his first FOMC meeting, drawing coverage from Financial Times, CNBC, CNN, and Fortune, with the FT headline framing it as his debut appearance.
- Treasury yields were mixed as investors digested Warsh's first Fed meeting, per CNBC's headline, while Fortune characterized Warsh's tone as hawkish and said CEOs should pay attention to the rate implications.
