·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Kevin Warsh delivers his first major address as Fed Chair at Jackson Hole on 28 August 2026 (~10:00 a.m. ET; symposium theme: 'Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy'). The 29 July FOMC vote was 9–3 to hold at 3.50–3.75%, with three dissenters (Hammack, Kashkari, Logan) seeking an immediate hike. Warsh has publicly called for a monetary policy 'regime change' and stated his speech will focus on 'long-term structural questions, not near-term guidance.' Market-implied probability of a September rate cut: below 20% (Kalshi/Bloomberg). Given FOMC composition, Warsh's stated stance, and the symposium theme, it is highly probable he will not signal a cut. (Not investment advice.)

Verdict: Hit
[Vorzeitig entschieden] Warsh lieferte in seiner Jackson-Hole-Rede eine hawkishe Botschaft (Fokus auf Preisstabilität, Inflation bei 3,4 %), weigerte sich ausdrücklich, die Entscheidung als 'Pause' zu bezeichnen, und sagte, er sei 'not constrained by market prices'. Damit signalisierte er keine Zinssenkung für September. Quelle: Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance Live, CNBC.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
