0631 GMT - Investors may need to prepare for a different Fed regime under new Chairman Kevin Warsh characterized by greater uncertainty, higher volatility and asset prices that are more sensitive to economic data and policy developments, says Arif Husain at T. Rowe Price. The desire to shrink the Fed's balance sheet may sit uneasily alongside the preference to keep interest rates as low as possible. "The combined effect of balance sheet reduction, reduced forward guidance, and potential tensions between monetary and fiscal objectives is likely to be higher volatility over the medium term and beyond," says the head of global fixed income in a note. Volatility may first appear in rates markets before spreading into credit and, ultimately, equities, Husain says. (monica.gupta@wsj.com)
