Israeli military says troops have been deployed to designated operational areas in southern Lebanon.

Fed chair Kevin Warsh indicated future press conferences may depend on specific communication objectives.

Analyst Colby Smith says Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has been tight-lipped on the future rate path, offering almost no explicit guidance. That preserves the Fed’s policy flexibility but increases the risk that market narratives about the economy or policy reactions will diverge, requiring later clarification and amplifying volatility. Barclays U.S. chief economist Marc Giannoni warns that silence cedes initiative to the market and may leave Warsh frustrated by market judgments. Warsh’s reticence appears not to be shared across colleagues: a dozen regional Fed presidents and board members continue to speak publicly about the outlook and conditional policy moves. Vincent Reinhart at BNY Mellon Investment Management says dissenting voices will fill the vacuum and expects the most vocal will be those favoring rate hikes, a cohort that has expanded in recent months.
