Search every verified Richard Clarida interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Richard Clarida, global economic advisor at PIMCO and former Federal Reserve vice chair, recently appeared on Fox Business and CNBC to discuss Federal Reserve monetary policy. In a late October appearance, Clarida said that after the Fed's unanimous decision to hold rates at its September meeting, the committee voted to "like the reads" and that "work started at the September meeting." He also noted dissents from some officials, including Lisa Cook, and expressed concern about inflation, particularly as it relates to Americans' spending power, observing that real disposable personal income has been "treading water." In a separate CNBC appearance, Clarida said the market's pricing of a rate hold at the upcoming meeting, with a December hike likely, was "the correct assessment." He stated he expected "one more rate hike at the December meeting," describing it as "very, very, very likely." Clarida also discussed shelter inflation, saying rents had been picking up in the last six months, contributing to the Fed's focus. He remarked that the Fed's removal of forward guidance from its statement means market participants will rely on speeches from officials, noting that Fed members "can and do share their views about rate paths" even if not formally in the FOMC statement.

    The nomination of Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve obviously has big implications for markets. But it also comes with some interesting sociological questions too.

What happens when someone who's been advocating major regime change at the central bank is now running it? And how do they balance independence with politics?

Notable quotes

“Well, yes. Broadly we we do and have had a K shape economy for some time. But the K the branches of the K have been diverging more widely in the last 6 or 7 years. The way I like to think about it, Scarlet is roughly 60% of Americans live in a in a house that's owner occupied housing, sometimes with their parents, but it's owned about 40% rent. Most of that 60% owned stocks, most of the other 40% doesn't. So we've be”

“So here's the way I would express it. Um, the fed is a very important part of ten year Treasury yield. It's not the only thing that drives yield. So I think the chairman was important to emphasize that the fed does want to step back and interpret movements in bond yields. It could be inflation, it could be global growth, Middle East hostilities. But certainly the chairman and the fed understands that an important par”

“A lot of the incremental growth in lending in the last dozen or 15 years has been in a particular segment of the private credit markets, in particular direct lending to middle market companies. That's probably the area of the credit market that we would highlight as the one in which the credit loss cycle has begun already to turn. Right now you see it not so much in actual losses as you do for creative financing, pay”

“We think AI is a transformative technology. In fact, if anything, we think the productivity benefits and boom from AI could happen sooner than a lot of folks believe. But we're also humble. We don't have a crystal ball. We think there's a wide range of outcomes. But let me be clear. We think this is how capitalism and financial markets are supposed to work. Attractive investment opportunities receive funding and as I”

“The most recent meeting illustrates well the committee that Kevin Warsh is going to inherit. And it's a committee of capable, thoughtful people, but for the most part especially given the hostilities in the Middle East and given frankly some pretty bad inflation data even before the hostilities commenced. It's a committee that's very much in wait-and-see mode. Three of the four dissents at the last meeting were a bit”

“Kevin Warsh is very impressive. He has experience as a policy maker. He was the youngest ever Fed governor back in 2006. He left the Fed in 2010. Since then has been at the Hoover Institution out in Stanford and also advising the legendary investor Stan Druckenmiller. And importantly for our conversation, he's been a consistent critic of the Fed and monetary policy almost from the day that he left the Fed. So, Kevin ”
