Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh warned inflation isn’t meaningfully slowing and said policymakers must be confident that it is, otherwise the central bank has “work to do.” He said interest rates are the Fed’s “predominant tool” for achieving its mandate, but stopped short of signaling he would support an interest-rate hike when Fed officials gather in September. Bloomberg Businessweek Daily has the details on Warsh's first major address at Jackson Hole since becoming Fed Chair 3 months ago.

On today's episode:
Mike McKee, Bloomberg News' Economics & Policy Correspondent
Linda Hasenfratz, Linamar Executive Chair
Michelle Jamrisko, Bloomberg News White House & National Security Editor
