FED CHAIR KEVIN WARSH: INFLATION REMAINS THE PRIORITY
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a clear message at the 2026 Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium:
> “Inflation is running above our 2 percent target. So the Fed’s predominant focus right now should be on prices.”
📊 Warsh highlighted that:
PCE inflation: 3.7% over 12 months
6-month PCE: 4.1%
The Fed’s 2% inflation target remains a firm, fixed target
Recent inflation progress has been modest
The Fed must ensure underlying inflation is moving toward 2% at a sufficient pace.
🔥 What does this mean for markets?
Higher-than-target inflation could keep the Fed cautious on rate cuts.
That means BTC, ETH, stocks & risk assets could remain highly sensitive to upcoming inflation data and Fed decisions.
👀 The big question:
Will inflation finally cool enough to give the Fed room to cut rates — or will “higher for longer” return?
