Kevin Warsh, who became Federal Reserve Chair in May 2026, will deliver his first major address at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium on August 28. Markets focus on whether he signals shifts in the monetary policy framework, including reduced reliance on forward guidance and updated models for inflation and data. Warsh has repeatedly stressed “regime change,” no tolerance for persistent inflation above target, and that policy will not be constrained by market pricing. The July FOMC held the federal funds rate at 3.50–3.75 percent with three dissents favoring a hike, while futures currently imply a high probability of no change at the September 16 meeting. The symposium theme centers on financial innovation, though attention centers on Warsh’s long-term structural comments rather than near-term rate signals.
