All eyes, ears, and camera lenses will be trained on picturesque Jackson Hole, Wyoming this week.

It's where on Thursday the Kansas City Federal Reserve will kick off its annual economic policy symposium.
voice-verified
Beneath the majestic mountains, global central bankers, academics, and economists will discuss this year's theme: financial innovation and the implications for payments and policy.
voice-verified
But it's Fed Chief Kevin Walsh's turn at the podium.
voice-verified
It will steal the show and economists are hungry for an update from him.
voice-verified
The FT's US economics editor, Claire Jones, will be at the event and joins me now to chat about what we can expect.
voice-verified
Hi Claire.
voice-verified
Hi Victoria.
voice-verified
So we don't hear much from the Fed chair as part of an intentional change in his communication style.
voice-verified
So what are we expecting from his turn at the microphone this week?
voice-verified
Investors, Claire, have been a bit more jittery about US inflation and record high debt levels here in the US, and they've been selling long term US Treasury bonds.
voice-verified
Last week we saw Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent get involved in the market to try and soothe some of those concerns.
voice-verified
I wonder if that possibly makes Walsh's job a bit more complicated.
voice-verified
And to what extent are economists concerned about the Fed's ability to contain inflation?
voice-verified
Because of course it's been made worse by the war in Iran, and it's now been well above the central bank's two percent target for quite some time.
voice-verified
The Fed's rate setting committee meets in the middle of next month, Claire.
voice-verified
So how likely is it that we could see an interest rate rise then?
voice-verified
Claire Jones, our US economics editor.
voice-verified
Thanks so much for your time.
voice-verified
Thanks, Victoria.
