  • Deregulation will allow the Fed to shrink its balance sheet.
  • Says is wasn't hard for him to dissent; says almost inflation over target is due to two things, one of them being housing and the other portfolio management quirks.
  • Thinks unemployment will top out a little bit higher where they are now.
  • Strong PPI report didn't likely move broader inflation reality.
  • Long-end of the yield curve isn't something that bothers him right now.

What it means

Fed Governor Miran's remarks suggest a positive sentiment toward the potential appointment of Warsh as Fed Chair, which could indicate a future shift in monetary policy towards a more hawkish stance. His comments about deregulation and balance sheet reduction reflect an inclination to tackle inflation concerns more aggressively, implying that markets should brace for possible adjustments in rate expectations and yield curves. This perception could influence the USD's strength against other currencies, especially in response to any incoming data indicating inflation or employment trends.
