Too early to judge Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's communication style, billionaire investor David Rubenstein says

The Federal Reserve is preparing for an interest rate hike, which would mark the first such move under Chairman Kevin Warsh. This expected action defies demands from Donald Trump and may test the truce established between Trump and the Fed upon Warsh's arrival. While the Fed girds for the move, billionaire investor David Rubenstein suggests it is too early to evaluate Warsh's communication style, following what has been described as a communications mess in July.
