# US Dollar: Warsh rhetoric weakens policy credibility – BBH

> BBH said the dollar was struggling to recover after the Fed's hawkish hold, as Chair Warsh's inflation rhetoric failed to convince markets. The yield curve steepened, with lower front-end rate expectations and higher long-end inflation expectations, and BBH sees Brent staying in a $70 to $100 range.
