After Federal Reserve chairman Kevin Warsh's speech in Jackson Hole , the markets penciled in an interest rate hike for the central bank's mid-September meeting. Comments from two influential officials now throw those expectations into question. The big picture: With August jobs and inflation data due out before a policy meeting in two weeks, the decision of whether to tighten policy appears to be on a knife-edge. - A meaningful contingent of Fed leadership is eager to raise interest rates to address stubbornly high inflation, while another, as Fed governor Christopher Waller put it Thursday morning, channeling John Lennon , is willing to "give disinflation a chance." - It's a close enough call that Warsh will likely be able to steer a…

Around the world, what were once solid lines dividing the responsibilities of those in charge of fiscal policy and monetary policy are being challenged or redrawn. The big picture: If elected governments succeed in undermining their central banks' independence — pressuring them to suppress interest rates or monetize debt to bail out yawning public debt problems — it foretells a world of higher inflation and economic volatility. - It was a challenge very much on the minds of the central bankers who assembled over the weekend in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for the Kansas City Federal Reserve's annual symposium — and underscored by recent news. Zoom out: Central bankers' great fear is that we're entering a new era of "fiscal dominance," in…

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh indicated Friday that he would consider interest rate hikes in the near future if inflation persists above the central bank’s 2 percent target. “There is one signal nobody can miss: The responsibility for 65 months of sustained, elevated inflation sits squarely with the central bank. And that is where it belongs,” Warsh, a long-time inflation hawk, said in his speech at the Fed’s annual confab at Jackson Hole, Wyoming. “Here is my standard: We must be confident that underlying inflation is moving to our objective, clearly and at sufficient speed. Otherwise, we have work to do.” Warsh argued that, despite inflationary headwinds, economic performance has been impressive. “For my part,…Open
New financial technologies are making it faster and cheaper to move money across borders, seemingly reducing the world's reliance on the dollar . - But new research presented at the Jackson Hole symposium suggests financial innovation may instead tighten the dollar's grip on global finance. - Financial innovation is the theme for the annual gathering of central bankers, where they're grappling with how these technologies reshape the financial system. Why it matters: Dollar dominance gives the U.S. enormous financial clout and helps keep demand for its debt strong. - If the paper is right, stablecoins and other forms of tokenized money could strengthen that position, even as concerns grow about America's fiscal health. What they're…
