Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to Meet IMF Chief in Bangkok

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is scheduled to participate in a fireside chat with International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in Bangkok on Thursday. The meeting occurs as market participants speculate that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates this month following September inflation data that exceeded expectations.

Warsh has previously stated he will not use his public remarks to steer markets regarding near-term monetary policy. However, the recent surge in inflation is expected to increase scrutiny of his comments during the discussion with Georgieva.
