American economist, chair of the Federal Reserve (1987–2006)
The Fed has maintained rates and launched a set of internal task forces under Warsh to overhaul communications, data usage, and inflation strategy, signaling a shift toward a Greenspan-era style of policy and increasing market volatility expectations.
Alan Greenspan has died at age 100 from complications of Parkinson's disease, his wife Andrea Mitchell has said. Greenspan has led the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006, presiding over long US growth and market rallies while later facing criticism for policies linked to the 2007–09 financial crisis.
New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is rolling back decades of forward guidance, cutting the Fed’s post-meeting statements and removing explicit guidance on future rate moves. Analysts warn this could raise market volatility and push mortgage rates higher, while Warsh argues markets should rely on data rather than central-bank hints.
