    Warsh at Jackson Hole: 2026 cuts unlikely; hikes remain possible

    Question

    Warsh at Jackson Hole: 2026 cuts unlikely; hikes remain possible

    Direct answer

    The speech framed a higher-for-longer policy path, with explicit caution that inflation has not improved fast enough toward target. That keeps the 2026 segment of the policy curve sensitive to additional hawkish communications. Equities faded after the remarks, consistent with tighter financial conditions. USD strength and duration weakness are typical first-order responses to hawkish Fed rhetoric. GLD tends to track real rates; higher real yields from repriced policy paths can weigh on gold, while TLT is directly exposed to duration repricing.
