Nomura: Warsh’s Hawkish Debut Emphasizes Inflation; August Data May Keep Fed on Hold
According to Chaoxiang Research, a Nomura Securities research report dated August 28, 2026 notes that Fed Chair Warsh emphasized the importance of the inflation target in his hawkish debut at Jackson Hole, suggesting that policy may need to adjust if inflation does not decline at a sufficient pace. However, he did not explicitly signal an imminent rate hike. Following the speech, the 2-year Treasury yield jumped 7 basis points, with markets pricing in a greater than 50% probability of a September rate increase, up from 30%. Nomura expects an approximate 0.2% month-on-month rise in August Core PCE, which should suffice to support the Fed's decision to hold course, though its sensitivity to incoming data has heightened significantly. Warsh downplayed the significance of recent benign inflation readings, stating he sees no indication of a positive trend shift. He unexpectedly minimized the importance of moderating wage growth, noting that wages have long proven ineffective as a gauge for underlying inflation trends. Regarding the economy, Warsh adopted a more optimistic tone, characterizing consumer spending as "healthy," capital expenditure as growing "rapidly," and the labor market as consistent with "full employment." Nomura forecasts August non-farm payroll gains of 60,000, with the unemployment rate dropping to 4.0%, while Q3 GDP nowcast estimates were revised higher to 3.6%. Nomura maintains its baseline assessment of a Fed pause, but Warsh's hawkish framing implies that should the disinflationary process encounter headwinds, a rate hike could be brought to the table.
