We are back in Jackson Hole! And this year's Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City symposium on monetary policy marks the first under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, and Fed observers all over the world will be closely watching his Friday speech for signs of how he might further distinguish himself, and the institution, from the Powell era.
