Summary · why it matters

Kevin Warsh, in his first Jackson Hole speech as Fed chair, rejected the Phillips curve dogma that inflation stems from workers earning too much, instead blaming fiscal deficits and money creation. This reframing matters for growth stocks, industrials, and banks, as it reduces the Fed's incentive to raise rates when hiring accelerates. NVIDIA reported revenue of $96 billion, more than doubling year over year, and Caterpillar posted its first $20 billion quarter, both benefiting from a Fed that treats investment cycles as productive rather than overheating. JPMorgan reported a 23% ROTCE, and a less reactive Fed could compress rate volatility for bank shareholders ahead of the September 16 decision. The market priced roughly a 55% to 60% chance of a rate hike at the September meeting as of August 28, 2026.
