08-31-2026 “25 Minutes to Go” For Everything to Change

——————

And the markets’ waitin’ just to hear Warsh yell, he’s got 24 minutes to go
In Jackson Hole, Warsh talked about old ways and new ways. He explained why they will be better than the old ways at meeting the Fed’s dual mandate.

Will everything change after Jackson Hole? No, just the terms of the debate get altered. 4.80 & 4.20 holds.

Imagine watching Warsh wrap up in Jackson Hole last Friday. Hear the bond vigilantes’ countdown to mealtime: 3, 2, 1, eat.

Warsh can see Bond Buzzards; he can hear their crows, one more minute to go. And now, he’s swingin’ and here he goes.

At TMSpotlight, these views are mine.
