Waller makes his debut at Jackson Hole, and markets are waiting for an answer.
Federal Reserve Chair Waller is set to deliver his first major speech at Jackson Hole, and the market is now watching three things.
First, how “hawkish” he really is.
If inflation picks up again, will he support rate hikes? At the moment, the market is still unsure where his policy “bottom line” lies, and this speech may send key signals.
Second, whether he will change the rules.
Beyond whether there will be a rate hike in September, markets are paying more attention to whether he adjusts the inflation framework, the balance sheet, and forward guidance—especially how he views the productivity changes brought about by AI.
Third, how he handles the Treasury.
The Treasury wants to lower funding costs via buybacks of long-dated U.S. Treasuries, but if the Fed keeps interest rates high to rein in inflation, the two sides could end up pulling against each other.
So, at this Jackson Hole, the real highlight may not be whether **“September will add 25 bps”**, but what tone Waller sets for monetary policy in the years ahead.
With the new chair speaking for the first time, what the market is waiting for isn’t a single sentence, but his policy playbook. $SKR $MOVR #ENA #BMT #TRUMP #ARİA #TAC $HEMI
