Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh will deliver the keynote address at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, with markets closely watching for signals on inflation strategy and rate trajectory. Economists including Greg Mankiw, Thomas Sargent, and William White are presenting competing frameworks on price dynamics that could influence Fed thinking.
Warsh's remarks will move Treasury yields, equity valuations, and currency pairs. Any hint of hawkish persistence on inflation or dovish pivot toward cuts will ripple across fixed income and equities. The speech arrives as PCE data looms, making it a critical inflection point for rate expectations through year-end.
The symposium reflects ongoing intellectual debate within the Fed over inflation's root causes—demand-side excess, supply constraints, or structural wage dynamics—each pointing to different policy responses. Warsh's framing will telegraph whether the Fed sees inflation as largely conquered or still requiring vigilance.
