Treasury markets reacted sharply to Kevin Warsh's potential appointment as Federal Reserve chair, with the 30-year to two-year yield spread widening to 1.35 percentage points. The MOVE reflects investor concerns about Warsh's historical criticism of the Fed's balance sheet expansion during both the 2008 crisis and 2020 pandemic response.

Greg Peters of PGIM Fixed Income notes the inherent conflict: "An anti-balance sheet expansion advocate now faces pressure to maintain lower long-term rates. This tension is driving the current yield curve steepening." Warsh's five-year tenure at the Fed (2006-2011) was followed by vocal opposition to quantitative easing programs.
