BANGKOK, Oct ‌16 (Reuters) - ​Federal ​Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh on Friday ‌said he does not "prejudge" interest-rate ⁠decisions, giving no preview of ‌whether the central ‌bank will hike or, as markets expect, hold ​short-term rates steady at its upcoming October ⁠27-28 meeting.

In September, the Fed raised ​rates and "we made very clear that we would ​deliver price ‌stability, and we removed a dose ⁠of accommodation," he said at the 2026 IMF-World ⁠Bank annual meetings in Bangkok. "I don't ​prejudge meetings. I don't believe in saying now what I ‌might do at the meetings that ‌we have in ⁠the balance ‌of this ​year."
