Probability

60%

At his debut FOMC meeting (June 2026), Warsh held rates steady at 3.50–3.75% but delivered a hawkish surprise: 9 of 18 FOMC members now project a 2026 hike and the easing bias was stripped. Polymarket gives 53–54% probability of a Fed rate hike in 2026. Jackson Hole (2026 theme: 'Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy') is traditionally the venue for policy turn signals. September 16–17 is the most plausible meeting — a Grand Teton announcement would be consistent with historical Fed practice.

Verdict: Miss

[Vorzeitig entschieden] Fed-Chef Warsh sprach am 28. August in Jackson Hole mit hawkishem Ton ('We have more work to do'), vermied aber explizite Forward Guidance zu einer Zinserhöhung im September. CME FedWatch stieg auf ~57,5 % – kein explizites Signal (CNBC, Washington Post, Forbes).

S&P 500 (^GSPC) closes above 7,450 points on 30 September 2026 (confirmed by NYSE closing price or Bloomberg by 30 September 2026)

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
