Warsh's Jackson Hole Speech: Hawkish Tone, Less Forward Guidance Expected

Christina Huber of The Mann Group stated that Fed Chair Warsh was sufficiently vague at Jackson Hole but reiterated his hawkish stance on inflation. She noted that while he has credibility, he will likely need to demonstrate action against inflation soon. Huber also anticipates less forward guidance from the Fed, which could lead to increased market confusion and volatility.

Well, I think Fed Chair Warsh was sufficiently vague, which is what I had expected. But he certainly reiterated how hawkish he is, how intolerant he is of above target inflation.
Christina Huber
And I think that is likely to result in significantly more confusion for markets.
