Rabobank analysts suggest that the potential appointment of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair could lead to a significant shift in US monetary policy by 2026.

Beyond interest rates, Warsh is expected to oversee a comprehensive reset of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. This strategic overhaul reflects a move toward structural reforms within the central bank's operational framework under new leadership. While Warsh is often perceived as a reformer, the prospect of long-term easing creates a complex outlook for the US Dollar and Treasury yields.
