Kevin Warsh, the new Federal Reserve chairman, faces challenges in implementing his monetary policy goals due to rising inflation and geopolitical unrest. While the bull market remains strong, Warsh's plans to reduce the Fed's balance sheet could lead to higher long-term interest rates, impacting stock valuations.
