The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh signaled at the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium that interest-rate increases may be needed in coming months because inflation remains above target. Warsh said policymakers must be confident underlying inflation is moving toward the Fed’s 2% objective “clearly and at sufficient speed,” adding, “Otherwise, we have work to do.” Inflation has been above the Fed’s 2% target for 65 months, while a key inflation gauge remains elevated. His remarks raised expectations for a September rate hike and eased investor concerns that the Fed might hold off.
