Kevin Warsh Disappoints in 1st Fed Press Conference, Drawing Criticism From TS Lombard

Summary
Dario Perkins called Kevin Warsh's first Federal Reserve press conference the biggest disappointment of summer 2026, saying he had been genuinely excited for the debut.
Warsh drew that criticism because he "sounded like a pundit, not a Fed chair," in Perkins' assessment, undercutting expectations for a more authoritative central-bank performance.
The reaction centers on Warsh's first appearance in one of the Fed's most scrutinized communication formats, where tone and message can shape market confidence as much as policy itself.
