    Warsh Signals 2026 Rate Hikes Possible as Fed Warns Inflation Progress Stalled

    Question

    Warsh Signals 2026 Rate Hikes Possible as Fed Warns Inflation Progress Stalled

    Direct answer

    Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh used his Jackson Hole Economic Symposium speech to push back against monetary easing expectations. Warsh stated that underlying inflation has failed to show meaningful progress toward the 2% target, warning that central bank policy may need to tighten further if disinflation stalls. The speech triggered broad intraday reversals across US equities and precious metals. Gold miners including SSR Mining and Goldgroup Mining dropped over 4% as the prospect of higher-for-longer policy rates boosted real yields and lifted the US Dollar.
