Economist Peter Schiff criticized Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh for holding rates steady, arguing that Warsh chose inflation despite his hawkish rhetoric. Three FOMC members dissented, voting for a quarter-point hike, but Warsh was not among them. Schiff contended that Warsh cannot claim credit for the bond market's rate increase, as the 30-year Treasury yield broke above 5.20% during the press conference and touched 5.239% Thursday, its highest since 2007. Gold rose about $40 to near $4,070 while stocks and bonds sold off, a move Schiff said reflects investors losing faith in the Fed's will to fight inflation.
