What happened
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh offered no indication of an urgent rate hike at the October 27–28 FOMC meeting, despite hotter-than-expected CPI and PPI reports. Warsh has also signaled a shift in how the Fed communicates, pulling back from the forward guidance markets have become accustomed to.

Why it matters
The change in Fed leadership and Warsh's guarded communication style are prompting analysts to review the Fed's messaging. His recent lack of hawkishness caused the Dollar Index to decline, and the probability of an October rate hike dropped from 27.7% to 16.1%.
The White House is reportedly demanding influence over the Federal Reserve's rate decisions, with Donald Trump reportedly selecting Warsh to influence Fed leadership.
