The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, with an expected confirmation as Chair. However, the discussion quickly pivoted to accelerating inflation, with gas, rent, and food prices climbing. The analyst believes the economic situation will 'only get worse' due to rising oil and diesel costs, which will be passed on to consumers, and that Warsh will be unable to cut rates.
