Warsh Signals Inflation Battle Not Over | Little Rock News

New Fed Chair Warsh made it clear at Jackson Hole that inflation’s underlying trends still worry him, despite recent cooling numbers. Replacing Powell in May, he signaled no immediate rate hike but firmly rejected the idea inflation is under control — reassuring Wall Street while nudging bond markets to bet on future rate increases. Short-term yields rose, hinting at near-term hikes, while longer-term rates stayed flat, suggesting investors don’t expect a drawn-out fight. Warsh’s carefully calibrated message — tough without being too specific — has some economists praising his restraint, while others warn history shows strong talk doesn’t always mean action. He also noted current rates aren’t enough to cool the economy, with solid spending and investment pointing to more tightening ahead.
