The new Federal Reserve chair, Kevin Warsh, speaks little.

He talks much less about the economy and inflation than his predecessors.

Economists and Wall Street investors do not like this.

The speech at the Jackson Hole annual symposium on Friday will be an important test.

์›Œ์‹œ๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ ๊ธฐ์žํšŒ๊ฒฌ์—์„œ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์„ ํ”ผํ–ˆ๋‹ค.

It was a question about whether he would raise rates if inflation stays high.

He avoided answering again and again. This caused more confusion.

๊ทธ๋Š” ๋ฐ˜๋ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋‹ต์„ ํ”ผํ•ด์„œ ํ˜ผ๋ž€์„ ํ‚ค์› ๋‹ค.

He refuses to give 'forward guidance' on rate hikes, cuts, or holds.

He says such guidance limits policy flexibility.

Some economists think Warsh can say more.

He can show his views without saying his next move.

David Wilcox of the Peterson Institute says this.

Warsh should make clear the ideas that guide his policy.

But Warsh refused even that explanation.

ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์›Œ์‹œ๋Š” ๊ทธ๋Ÿฐ ์„ค๋ช…์กฐ์ฐจ ๊ฑฐ๋ถ€ํ–ˆ๋‹ค.

It is not sure if Warsh will speak clearly on Friday.

He spoke last month.

๊ทธ๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ๋‹ฌ์— ๋งํ–ˆ๋‹ค.

He said he wants to focus on 'big questions' in his speech.

Those questions are about how the world economy answers AI. They also cover productivity, population change, and the Iran war shock.

Inflation has cooled.

์ธํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์…˜์€ ์‹์—ˆ๋‹ค.

That is because gas prices rose a lot in May and June.

Most Americans see the cost of essentials as a big economic problem, a survey says.

Those essentials are gas, food, and housing.

When Warsh spoke at the press conference on July 29, interest rates went up.

After the Fed kept its key rate the same, home loan costs also went up.

Jena Goldberg from TD Securities says this.

TD์ฆ๊ถŒ์˜ ์ œ๋‚˜๋”” ๊ณจ๋“œ๋ฒ„๊ทธ๋Š” ๋งํ•œ๋‹ค.

During his speech, Warsh basically lost the market.

์›Œ์‹œ๋Š” ์—ฐ์„ค ์ค‘ ์‚ฌ์‹ค์ƒ ์‹œ์žฅ์„ ์žƒ์—ˆ๋‹ค.

He could not answer how to reach the goal of lowering inflation.

Warsh spoke to reporters.

์›Œ์‹œ๋Š” ๊ธฐ์ž๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ๋งํ–ˆ๋‹ค.

He said that when core inflation goes up, he tends to raise interest rates.

But he did not say if he thinks core inflation is getting worse.

He also did not say how he measures it.

๊ทธ๋Š” ์ธก์ • ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•๋„ ๋ฐํžˆ์ง€ ์•Š์•˜๋‹ค.

He mentioned the personal consumption spending price index.

๊ทธ๋Š” ๊ฐœ์ธ์†Œ๋น„์ง€์ถœ ๊ฐ€๊ฒฉ ์ง€์ˆ˜๋ฅผ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋‹ค.

ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ๋‚ด๋…„์— ๋ฐ”๋€” ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์‹œ์‚ฌํ–ˆ๋‹ค.

There was a question. Would he support raising interest rates to fight long-lasting inflation?

Warsh said it could be part of the solution.

But he said it was not the only one.

Some watchers thought he was thinking about other steps.

That step could be reducing the Fed's big bond holdings.

Questions about Warsh grew bigger.

Trump keeps defending Warsh.

But he blamed other Fed officials. They support higher rates.

Warsh's speech is a chance to show independence from political interference.

It is a statement about how the Fed will react when inflation stays high.

If Warsh eases worries, long-term rates may fall a little.

That is because of the bigger US deficit and AI infrastructure borrowing.
