Federal Reserve Chair Warsh is scheduled to deliver a public speech at 22:00 Beijing time on Friday, Aug. 28, at the Jackson Hole global central bankers’ annual gathering, according to BlockBeats. The appearance is described as his most closely watched public address since taking office. The timing matters because U.S. Treasury yields remain elevated and inflation is still clearly above target, while the market has yet to get a clear read on the conditions under which Warsh would tighten policy further. That uncertainty has turned the speech into a focal point for interest-rate expectations and bond pricing. Luke Tilley, chief economist at M&T Bank Group, said Warsh may spend more time on internal Federal Reserve reform and on how the central bank should operate, rather than offering a detailed discussion of the economic outlook and the path of rates over the next few months.

A key moment for rate expectations
The report said U.S. Treasury yields remain high and inflation is still clearly above target. At the same time, markets still do not know under what conditions Warsh would tighten policy further. That has made the speech a potential turning point for interest-rate expectations and bond pricing.
Economist expects focus on Fed reform
Luke Tilley, chief economist at M&T Bank Group, said Warsh may focus more on internal reform at the Federal Reserve and on how the central bank should operate, rather than giving a detailed assessment of the economy and the rate path over the next few months.
