Fed Chair Warsh calls AI a new factor of production, gives no rate signals

  • Warsh: AI is a potential new factor of production, its effect on employment is undefined
  • Annual token turnover of two AI labs exceeded $100 billion, up more than 500% year over year
  • PCE inflation at 3.7% over 12 months and 4.1% over 6 months versus the 2% target
  • Probability of a September rate hike rose from 35% to 60%, BTC fell to $78,400
Why it matters: The Fed's hawkish tone weighs on risk assets: rising odds of a rate hike could increase volatility in bitcoin and crypto stocks.
