The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which featured Kevin Warsh’s first speech as chairman, is winding down Saturday.

Warsh used a keynote speech to hammer home a message that curbing inflation is the central bank’s top priority.

That helped relieve some frustration among investors and added drama to the Fed’s next policy meeting.
