Bloomberg (economics & policy correspondent)
First call on the ledger
No calls filed yet. Quotes in curly quotation marks are verbatim; everything
else is a labeled paraphrase. Every call links its original source. Before you trust the call, check the record.
Where they stand
Views on the record but not scoreable bets: no single number and deadline to grade. Shown in their exact words, never scored.
how the decision concentrates in Warsh. reporter framing, deliberate hyperbole
“only one matters today and that is the new chair, Kevin Warsh”
Volcker within months; Yellen the only recent exception at 22 months. context framing of surprise risk, not a forecast
“The history of new Fed chairs is that they tend to raise rates very quickly after taking office”
the consensus he reports the day before. STANCE corrected: the survey's consensus, not McKee's call
“Eighty-seven of the 88 economists who participate in our Bloomberg survey say the Fed is going to leave rates on hold”
