A Truflation CEO comment arguing Kevin Warsh is actually dovish moved roughly 500 billion dollars of market value.
What happened
The Truflation CEO suggested Kevin Warsh's hawkish public stance is a distraction from dovish policy leanings. The comment was tied to a shift in roughly 500 billion dollars of market value. US equity futures are down 1.9 percent over the past week, with government bond yields rising as prices fall 0.9 percent.
Why it matters
If a potential future central bank leader is seen as softer on inflation than his rhetoric implies, it changes the path of expected interest rates. Lower rate expectations lift stock and bond prices, so the reverse can shake markets. This touched the rate sensitive bond market directly and rippled into equity futures.
The case against
The market move may simply be part of a broader pullback within an uptrend that also includes falling chip stocks and a sharp 9.4 percent weekly rise in oil. Attributing half a trillion in value change to a single CEO comment is a simplification. Warsh has a long public record of hawkishness that one interview may not override.
What settles it
Whether Warsh himself clarifies his policy stance in a forthcoming public appearance.
