USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh said on Wednesday that more forward guidance on monetary policy decisions may be prudent in moments of financial crisis, such as the 2008-2009 period, but it's worth revisiting such guidance during more benign periods.
"Well, in crisis mode, that strikes me as a very prudent policy. But in more benign conditions, it strikes me as worth revisiting," Warsh told a news conference after Fed policymakers held rates steady. "But markets and market participants and reporters have learned to devour all that information. So I take seriously that the pullback of forward guidance requires some transition."
Warsh added that central bankers are naturally inclined to tighten policy when they see stable employment and underlying inflation moving higher.

USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh explained on Wednesday why he notes how the financial market has moved to price in tighter monetary policy in the absence of central bank guidance, but he's not obliged to follow what traders and investors are doing.
"I was comforted that markets in the intermeeting period weren't reacting to us" in moving to price in tighter financial conditions, Warsh said.
"I think has been a useful development," Warsh said, while adding, "we don't endorse any particular market move, but I'd also suggest we observe them with keen interest."

USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh said Wednesday that he had yet to decide what he will say at his planned speech for the central bank's Jackson Hole, Wyoming, conference scheduled for late next month.
Speaking in a press conference following the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting, Warsh said when it comes to his remarks, he had yet to make any judgments on what he would say. But he did suggest he would take a step back in his remarks and said "if I could, in the high mountain air in Jackson, Wyoming, I'd like to also frame the big questions: There is a tendency, especially with the proliferation of meetings and press conferences, to get caught up in the myopic."

USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh said on Wednesday the dissenting votes at the latest monetary policy meeting are a sign of a good policymaking process.
Referring to the three dissenting votes favoring rate hikes versus the Federal Open Market Committee decision to hold the federal funds rate steady, Warsh said at a press conference that "I asked for a good family fight, and I got one. That's the purpose. That's the design feature," adding ¨there was a large majority support for the decision that we made in the room.:"

Continues from previous update...
The Fed said economic activity is "expanding at a solid pace," noting, as it did in June, that job gains "have kept pace with the workforce, and the unemployment rate has changed little."
In leaving the policy rate pinned in the range it has been since December, Fed policymakers are embracing the idea that current borrowing costs are creating enough friction in the economy to reduce any inflation that isn't, like the effect of tariffs on goods prices, expected to fade on its own.
Warsh has said little about the mix of risks and nothing about the outlook for the policy rate, though he has expressed the expectation that rising productivity aided by AI will allow the economy to grow faster without also pushing up inflation.
Financial markets ahead of this week's meeting had priced in about a one-in-three chance of a rate hike and, absent such a move at this week's meeting, nearly a 100% chance of an increase in September. By then, Fed policymakers will have in hand two more monthly readings on inflation and the jobs market, giving them a better picture of whether the cooling price pressures evident last month have continued.

USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday, a choice that may intensify questions about how U.S. central bank chief Kevin Warsh will deliver on his commitment to bring inflation back down to the 2% target.
The widely expected decision to leave the benchmark interest rate in the 3.50%-3.75% range drew dissents from three of the 12 members of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee who "preferred" a quarter-percentage-point hike at this meeting. Those same three, the presidents of the Fed's Cleveland, Dallas and Minneapolis regional banks, had also dissented at Jerome Powell's final meeting as central bank chief in late April, that time in favor of removing the implied promise of lower rates.
Warsh, who took over as head of the Fed in May, has said he has "no tolerance" for inflation that has been running above the central bank's target for more than five years, and up until last month was accelerating as the war in the Middle East pushed up global fuel and food prices, and investment in data centers and other spending tied to artificial intelligence drove up demand.
"Inflation remains elevated relative to the Committee's 2% goal," the Fed said in a short policy statement after the end of its latest two-day meeting. It replicated word for word all of the June 17 statement's assessment of the economy.

USD/MAJORS... LSEG reported the U.S. military said on Tuesday it intercepted multiple ballistic missiles launched by Iran towards U.S. forces in the Middle East, adding American forces remained "vigilant."
The statement by the U.S. Central Command did not mention the exact location it said Iran attempted to target.
Axios reported earlier, citing a U.S. official, that Iran had launched ballistic missiles towards a U.S. base in Jordan and the missiles were intercepted.
"Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces launched multiple ballistic missiles from Iran in an attempted surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East. All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted," the U.S. Central Command said on X.
President Donald Trump, who abruptly called off a two-week U.S. bombing campaign over the weekend, has said there were "good talks" under way with Iran but threatened to restart strikes unless negotiations delivered. Iran has denied seeking to resume talks with Washington.
The Iran war began on February 28 when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran and Tehran responded with its own strikes on Israel and Gulf states that host U.S. bases.

USD/JPY - 161.77... LSEG reported Japan's finance minister said on Friday the government aims to steer the country's vast state pension funds to "substantially" lift investments in domestic assets, sparking gains in the yen and bonds as investors bet billions of dollars could be channelled into Japanese markets.
The comments put the spotlight on the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), the world's largest pension fund, which managed 293.6 trillion yen ($1.8 trillion) in assets at the end of March. Any shift in its portfolio strategy would reverberate across global financial markets.
"We would like to pursue measures that would encourage pension funds, including GPIF, to make substantially greater investments in Japanese financial assets," Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said at a regular press conference.
The prospect of GPIF directing more money into yen-denominated bonds and other domestic assets could be a game changer for Japanese markets. Investors responded swiftly, driving gains in both the yen and JGBs on expectations that a sizeable pool of pension capital may be steered home.
