WATCH LIVE: Fed chair Warsh speaks at Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium - PBS

Federal Reserve Chair Warsh is delivering the keynote address at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium, with the session now available via a live PBS stream. The annual gathering, hosted by the Kansas City Fed, has long been a stage for major central-bank communication. Because the event attracts policymakers and scholars from around the world, the chair’s remarks are read closely for any shift in the monetary policy outlook.

Markets tend to pay particular attention to Jackson Hole because a single phrase can reshape expectations for interest rates or the balance sheet. In this environment, investors and analysts will be listening for how the chair describes inflation, labor market conditions, and the balance of risks. Any signals on the likely pace of policy adjustment could carry added weight.

Observers will also parse the broader tone—whether the chair emphasizes vigilance against price pressures or acknowledges cooling in economic activity. Since this is a live event, commentary and market reactions will unfold in real time, making the speech a touchstone for near-term rate expectations. No specific policy announcements are expected, but the language used will likely set the tone for coming weeks.
