Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh faced strong pushback at his second Federal Open Market Committee meeting, as three officials voted against holding rates steady and instead backed a quarter-point hike. That marks the most dissenting votes a new Fed chair has faced early in their tenure in more than 50 years, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The committee voted 9 to 3 to keep the policy rate at 3.50 to 3.75 percent, while the minority remained concerned that inflation is still above the Fed's target. The episode reflects Warsh's desire for constructive internal debate and represents a key early test of his consensus-building leadership amid still-elevated inflation pressures.
