Yet markets around the world are waiting.
Kevin Warsh is preparing to address Jackson Hole at a moment when investors are trying to answer one crucial question: where does the Federal Reserve go from here?
The answer may not come directly.
A few carefully chosen words about inflation, economic growth or interest rates could be enough to change expectations. Traders will listen not only to what Warsh says, but how he says it.
Does he sound increasingly concerned about inflation?
Does he suggest the Fed can afford to wait?
Or does he deliberately leave markets guessing?
The consequences can travel far beyond America. Expectations for U.S. interest rates can quickly move the dollar, bonds, stocks, gold and global capital.
That is what makes Jackson Hole unusual.
A central banker standing behind a microphone in the mountains of Wyoming can say a few sentences — and within seconds, money can begin moving thousands of miles away.
One microphone. One speech. A world of money listening.
