· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh stated on Friday that inflation remains too high and suggested that the central bank may need to raise interest rates in the coming months to combat it. Speaking at the Fed's annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Warsh acknowledged recent data showing a slight moderation in inflation but emphasized that underlying trends have not significantly improved. He noted that the Fed's next meeting is scheduled for September 15-16, and while he refrained from providing future guidance on rate changes, he indicated that current rates might not be sufficient to achieve the Fed's 2% inflation target.
