What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

On October 28, 2026, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh stated that the economy is expanding at a "strong pace". Warsh indicated that the Fed intends to reverse interest rate cuts from last year and bring inflation back to the 2% target. The Fed's job is complicated by the Iran conflict and Trade War 2.0. Separately, Google reported a poor financial quarter, which coincided with the 10-year yield falling from 5.02%.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Fed's choice to use the word "strong" instead of "solid" signals a commitment to maintaining higher interest rates. This stance suggests the Fed will continue reversing previous rate cuts while inflation remains above target. The geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the Iran conflict adds complexity to monetary policy decisions.
