Next Week Macro Outlook: July Core PCE on the Horizon, "Don't Get Too Excited About Rate Cuts"
BlockBeats News, August 23. For most of this month, Wall Street traders flocked to the stock and bond markets, betting that the Fed was finally ready to cut rates again. The only thing they were waiting for was Fed Chair Powell's green light to sustain this rally. Their wish was granted on Friday as Powell took a dovish stance in a highly anticipated speech, triggering the largest cross-market rally since April.
On Friday, Powell hinted at the Fed's readiness to change its policy direction, reminiscent of the situation at the Jackson Hole conference a year ago. In his Jackson Hole speech, Powell opened the door to a rate cut in September, unequivocally signaling that the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points at the September meeting.
