Fed Chair Warsh flags oil futures price rise, says he cannot help

Warsh's explicit refusal to offer help marks a notable boundary for a Fed chair: energy-driven price pressure is framed as outside the central bank's reach, leaving rate policy to move in step with oil rather than against it. The signal matters most for rate-sensitive corners of crypto and tokenized real assets, where the cost of carry tracks expectations the Fed is declining to anchor. Whether oil futures keep dictating the rate conversation, or the Fed reasserts a view on energy pass-through, is the open question.
