Warsh settles some nerves at Jackson Hole - @robarmstrong.bsky.social's take here www.ft.com/content/646b...

Warsh settles some nerves at Jackson Hole

Speech gave a crisper picture of how he reads the economy but leaves open questions over Fed ‘reaction function’

Warsh did what he needed to do--recommitted to using PCE as your inflation gauge (no defining away inflation), showed more central banker like balance and nuance on AI impacts, and communicate a willingness to put your money where your mouth is--a September hike is a go

Headlines suggest Warsh delivered a clear message.
