The market transmission
clearer hawkish Fed messaging into higher rate expectations
Warsh's clearer hawkish stance tilts Fed expectations toward tighter policy. UST2Y and UST10Y yields should move higher on the shift in forward guidance. Equity indices face headwind from higher discount rates.

What would change this
Warsh has been inconsistent, so clarity itself reduces uncertainty premia that may have masked the true repricing. Markets had already priced some tightening risk after July's confusion; this is confirmation rather than surprise, which limits the initial repricing magnitude.
