Inflation's Unwelcome Guest: Fed Chair Warsh's Rate Hike Warning Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's recent speech at Jackson Hole has sent a clear signal that interest rates may need to rise in the coming months to combat persistent inflation.

Warsh acknowledged that recent economic figures show some moderation in price growth, but cautioned that underlying trends have not improved sufficiently.
