Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Hawkish Fed signals and persistent inflation pressure typically compress P/E multiples and lift yields, historically weighing on equities (e.g., 2013-14 taper expectations, 2018 rate-hike cycles). If Warsh’s stance gains credibility or CPI surprises hot, multiple compression and higher discount rates could pressure broad indices.
