Kevin Warsh has been sworn in as the 17th Chair of the Federal Reserve with a focus on lowering interest rates and reducing the Fed's $6.7 trillion balance sheet, particularly long-term Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). He aims to proceed gradually to avoid market disruptions, as outright asset sales are unlikely due to $857 billion in unrealized losses on Fed bond holdings. Instead, balance sheet reduction will rely on slow maturity runoff, especially for $2 trillion in MBS. Warsh also faces the challenge of managing reserves carefully to prevent money market tightness like that which ended quantitative tightening in December 2025.
