Kevin Warsh first FOMC meeting 16-17 Jun 2026. Rate hold at 3.50-3.75% (97% probability). US CPI May 4.2%. Dot plot could remove last 2026 rate cut. Press conference 17 Jun 2:30 PM ET.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kevin Warsh steps into the spotlight on 17 June 2026 as the 17th Chair of the US Federal Reserve chairs his very first Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. The rate decision at 2:00 PM ET is nearly a foregone conclusion: CME FedWatch data puts the probability of rates staying unchanged at 3.50-3.75% at approximately 97%. No cut, no hike. But for Indian investors and global markets, the rate number is the least important element of today’s meeting. What matters far more is everything surrounding the decision: Kevin Warsh’s debut press conference at 2:30 PM ET, the updated dot plot signalling the committee’s rate path for the rest of 2026, and whether the post-meeting statement drops its easing bias. Kevin Warsh was confirmed by the US Senate in a 54-45 vote on May 13, 2026, the most partisan Fed confirmation in history, and was sworn in on May 22. He inherits a 4.2% inflation reading, political pressure from the White House to cut rates, and a divided committee that produced an 8-4 vote split in its final meeting under Jerome Powell.<\/p>\n
