AI Summary
Former Fed governor Randall Kroszner believes markets should not expect forward guidance or a 'pivot' from Chair Warsh at Jackson Hole. Warsh is likely to deliver a short speech reiterating the Fed's commitment to its 2% inflation target, but without elaborating on specific methods, as task forces are still examining how to best measure inflation and understand economic relationships. Kroszner suggests Warsh is biding his time, looking at the 'bigger picture' rather than reacting to every data fluctuation.
