Jack Farley

On Monetary Matters, Jack Farley framed a new communication regime at the Fed under Kevin Warsh, pressing Kathryn Rooney Vera on how to invest when the Fed offers far less guidance and the curve must do more of the signaling ¹. He also highlighted commodity inputs, noting he tracks sulfur prices as a potential driver of fertilizer and food inflation, and probed where monthly inflation would force Warsh to hike to preserve credibility ¹. In a separate episode with Nicholas Brooks, Farley contrasted prior bearish takes on private credit with Brooks’ more sanguine data-driven view, then offered his own post‑interview views on reflexivity in private markets, BDC valuations, fund gating, and the outsized role of the Fed in corporate interest burdens ².
