Markets await Warsh's Jackson Hole speech
The U.S. Federal Reserve is delivering a speech at Jackson Hole by its chairman, Kevin Warsh, his first since taking office. Markets are closely watching how he will handle inflation and interest rate hikes. Currently, the period is characterized by rising U.S. debt levels, reaching $40 trillion, and bond yields climbing to their highest level in 19 years. This comes alongside a decline in central bank guidance on interest rates, influenced by Treasury Department policies and bond-buying operations. Experts believe Warsh will not offer clear signals during his speech, but the market is heavily monitoring his positions on inflation, liquidity, and the future of U.S. debt. It is also expected that he will focus on the bond issue and whether he will coordinate with the Treasury Department — factors that could impact inflation and interest rates.
