-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.”
Warsh reiterated that policymakers will return inflation to their 2% goal, which he said is a firm and fixed target, and that financial conditions are not currently restrictive.
Warsh 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.

Nic Querolo, Bloomberg Municipal Finance Reporter, discusses the latest on the munis bond market.
Investors in the high-yield municipal bond market are being picky and have shied away from some recent offerings, such as one from QCF/I, Inc.
Higher absolute yields and tighter spreads between investment grade and riskier debt have given bond buyers fewer reasons to consider deals further down the credit spectrum.
High-yield defaults have been in line with historical levels this year, with 33 first-time defaults totaling $2.81 billion, according to Municipal Market Analytics.
