What happened

Incoming Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh won't be looking to cut interest rates and in fact may want to consider raising them, investor Paul Tudor Jones said Thursday.

Why it matters

No chance," Jones said during a wide-ranging CNBC "Squawk Box" interview.

Common ground

Warsh has made no secret of his belief that the central bank should be thinking about lowering interest rates.

Perspective signals
