Wall Street Skeptical of Warsh's Balance-Sheet Reduction Agenda -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-15 22:09

1009 ET - Kevin Warsh has long championed a smaller balance sheet for the Fed. But Wall Street appears skeptical that he'll be able to achieve that goal as Fed chair. Eight times a year, the New York Fed surveys major trading desks, and one of the questions solicits forecasts about how the Fed's balance sheet will change in the future. In January, before Warsh was nominated, the median response projected a Fed balance sheet of $7.384 trillion at the end of 2028. In the latest survey, the first after Warsh's nomination, the projection fell by just a hair, to $7.35 trillion. The Fed's balance sheet totaled $6.694 trillion in the latest week. So Wall Street is firm in its expectations that the Fed's assets will continue to grow, not shrink. (matt.grossman@wsj.com; @mattgrossman)
