August 28th - Analysts and investors believe this speech will be an early test, observing whether Warsh is willing to adapt to an environment of growing concern about his policy plans. The Federal Reserve has now failed to achieve its inflation target for 65 consecutive months, and progress over the past year and a half has been very limited. Early in his tenure, Warsh repeatedly reiterated his commitment to achieving the Feds inflation target, but consistently failed to specify how, which has already sparked calls for the Fed to adjust its policy focus. EY-Parthenons chief economist, Gregory Daco, stated that Warshs previous statements have been very vague, and "people are worried about the Feds independence," as well as whether Warsh is reluctant to discuss potential interest rate hikes to avoid angering Trump and his administration. Daco said, "He has to be more careful in his communication, not giving the impression that the Fed might be coordinating and cooperating more with the Treasury, nor giving the impression that he is influenced by the presidents demands for rate cuts… These are not good signs for any new Fed chair." Warsh must carefully navigate his statements. Saying too much could trigger irreversible expectations, or at least make people uncomfortable; saying too little could damage credibility and hand over influence to other members of the Federal Reserve who can provide more detailed arguments.

New Jersey And Ohio Prohibit The Use of TikTok on Government-owned Devices

New Jersey and Ohio joined other states in prohibiting the use of the popular video app TikTok on government-owned and managed devices on Monday.


In addition to banning the short-video app owned by Chinese technology conglomerate ByteDance from state devices, Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy banned software vendors, products, and services from over a dozen companies, including Huawei, Hikvision, Tencent Holdings (OTC:TCEHY) LTD, ZTE (HK:073) Corporation, and Kaspersky Lab.


Murphy's office noted, "there are national security concerns regarding the user data that the Chinese government may demand from ByteDance."


In his order, the Republican governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, stated: "Different covert data privacy and cybersecurity practices pose threats to national and local security and cybersecurity for users of these programs, platforms, and devices storing the applications."


TikTok did not immediately comment.


On Friday, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers revealed his plan to outlaw the use of a popular video app with more than 100 million users in the United States.


Some Democratic governors have been slower than their Republican counterparts to ban TikTok on state-owned devices.


Christopher Wray, director of the FBI in the United States, claimed in November that TikTok poses concerns to national security, which prompted efforts to prohibit the app on government computers. Wray called attention to the risk that the Chinese government may manipulate users or seize control of their devices via the program.


According to a report by Reuters on Friday, TikTok has stopped hiring consultants who would help it implement a potential security cooperation with the United States, according to two individuals with knowledge of the issue, as more U.S. officials reject such a deal.


Since 2015, TikTok has endeavored to ensure Washington that the Chinese Communist Party or any other institution under Beijing's control cannot access or alter the personal information of American citizens.
