Warsh Says Fed Must Act if Inflation Stays High

On Bloomberg This Weekend Schwab Center Head of Macro Research & Strategy Kevin Gordon and Allsprings Global Investments Head of Equity Investments Ann Miletti say the remarks provided greater clarity on the Fed’s approach, with upcoming inflation data likely to be critical to whether policymakers raise rates in September.
