Markets eye Warsh's speech for interest rate insight

Markets are eagerly anticipating US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's upcoming speech, as it is expected to provide valuable insights into future central bank policy and inflation outlook. Traders are confident that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at least once over the next year, but there is uncertainty surrounding Warsh's assessment of inflation and whether it is driven by one-off shocks or persistent factors.

While 80% of economists surveyed by CNBC expressed a desire for Warsh to share more of his views, he has maintained that he will avoid "playing the ball, not the referee." Goldman Sachs' chief US economist anticipates that Warsh is "unlikely to provide policy guidance."
