[Korean] The founder of "Sam's Law" on 3PRO TV! Even with Kevin Warsh, the Fed won't change? Former Fed economist's outlook on June FOMC | Claudia Sam [Special Interview]

Summary

Claudia Sahm discusses the Fed transition from Powell to Kevin Warsh, the Sahm Rule's performance during the post-pandemic period, and her cautiously optimistic view on AI's economic impact. She expects policy continuity and no imminent rate cuts.

• Sahm praises Powell's leadership during a difficult period but notes errors in delayed inflation response.
• She expects Warsh to maintain policy continuity on rates, though communication style may shift.
• The Sahm Rule triggered in 2024 but did not lead to recession due to unusual labor supply dynamics.
• Sahm sees AI as a potential general-purpose technology but cautions that productivity gains will take years.
• Massive AI infrastructure capex is generating chip price pressures but use cases remain unclear.
• She believes the Fed's balance sheet reduction is at its limit without further structural changes.
• Rate cuts are unlikely in the near term; the Fed will move slowly and cautiously.
