Fed Chair Warsh: Neutral Rate Has No Operable Impact on Rate Decisions

The remark matters less as a policy signal than as a framing choice: a Fed chair publicly downgrading the neutral rate's operational weight narrows the set of inputs markets can use to anticipate policy. For rate-sensitive crypto and RWA positioning, that argues against reading every neutral-rate estimate revision as a directional clue. The open question is whether this reflects a durable communication stance or a one-off aside, and whether other Fed officials echo it.
