Jerome Powell Set To Deliver Pivotal Jackson Hole Address As Analysts Warn It Could Be 'Make-Or-Break' Moment For Dovish Fed
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium on Friday is being billed as a pivotal, "make-or-break" moment for the central bank's more dovish contingent. This annual gathering of central bankers, economists, and financial leaders in Wyoming is one of the most closely watched events on the economic calendar, and this year's address is no exception. Market Experts Are Widely Anticipating A "Conciliatory" Tone The anticipation surrounding Powell's speech has been fueled by a growing consensus among market analysts that the Fed is poised to ease its monetary policy. Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — According to Gary Black of The Future Fund, money markets are now pricing in an 84% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut in September, with expectations for two cuts by the end of the year. He says that Powell's speech 'could be make-or-break moment for a more dovish Fed.'This sentiment persists despite a recent hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) report for July. Similarly, Tom Lee of FundStrat has expressed his hope for a 'conciliatory tone to rate cuts' from the Fed Chair. Historical Market Reaction To Jackson Hole Historically, the S&P 500's performance in the week following the Jackson Hole symposium has been mixed, often marked by increased volatility as investors digest the Federal Reserve's messaging. According to analysis from Kevin Gordon of Schwab, citing Bloomberg Intelligence data, the index has gained an average of 0.4% in the week after the event since 2000.2025 Theme To Highlight Transitions In Labor Markets The theme for the 2025 symposium, which will take place from Aug. 21-23, is 'Labor Markets in Transition: Demographics, Productivity, and Macroeconomic Policy.' This theme will guide the discussions and papers presented at the event, with a focus on how shifts in the labor market will impact the broader economy and monetary policy decisions. As the world watches, Powell's speech against this backdrop will be scrutinized for any hints about the future direction of the U.S. economy and the Fed's response to the evolving landscape. The Jackson Hole symposium, hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, has a long history of being a platform for major policy announcements. The event brings together a select group of around 120 attendees, including central bankers from around the world, academics, and government officials, to discuss pressing long-term economic issues.

Commentary: There's an upside to the Trump tariffs
Many CEOs have been scrambling this year to rewire supply chains and minimize the impact of President Trump's new tariffs. The import taxes have dented profits at dozens of big companies and led many economists to downgrade their forecasts for growth and hiring. The tariffs aren't all bad, however. Trump and his aides have been crowing about the new revenue the tax hikes are bringing in, and there's now an important third-party endorsement of that view. Rating agency S&P Global updated its credit assessment of the United States on Aug. 18, citing new tariff revenue as a modest positive in America's otherwise shaky fiscal situation. S&P called new tariff revenue "robust" and said it has the potential to offset other actions likely to worsen the US debt profile. If that helps stabilize US debt relative to the size of the economy at current levels, the US economy might be fine. The US debt picture is still ugly. Total federal debt recently surpassed $37 trillion. The portion traded by investors in financial markets is equal to about 100% of GDP, an unprecedented level outside of wartime. The tax-cut legislation Trump signed into law in early July will add at least $4 trillion more to the national debt during the next decade. At current levels, Trump's tariffs could bring in nearly $300 billion per year in new revenue. That would cut the expected annual deficit in 2025 from $1.9 trillion to $1.6 trillion. That's not a huge improvement, but Trump's tariff revenue is still the most substantial new source of federal revenue in years. Read more: What Trump's tariffs mean for the economy and your wallet It's also notable that one of the rating agencies has anything positive to say about America's finances, which have been steadily deteriorating since 2001, the last time there was a budget surplus. S&P shocked financial markets in 2011 when it downgraded US creditworthiness from AAA to AA+, the first such downgrade ever. Two other rating agencies, Moody's and Fitch, have also knocked the US out of the top tier since then. S&P rates 11 countries higher than the US, including Canada, Australia, Singapore, and eight European nations. The US still has unique advantages. S&P notes that the US economy has grown far faster than other advanced economies since the COVID downturn in 2020. Reasons for US outperformance include "strong civic society, political respect for property rights and the rule of law, and success in promoting innovation and new technology." The primacy of the US dollar, which accounts for about 60% of the world's government reserves, is a priceless edge. Without saying so outright, the S&P analysis includes some stern warnings for Trump. The agency repeatedly cited the Federal Reserve as a unique enabler of stability and prosperity and noted that any interference with that could have dire consequences. America's AA+ rating "could come under pressure if political developments weigh on the strength of American institutions and the effectiveness of long-term policymaking or independence of the Federal Reserve," S&P said. The agency has cited US political dysfunction as a concern before, but the heavy emphasis on Federal Reserve independence is new. Read more: How much control does the president have over the Fed and interest rates?That seems an obvious reference to Trump's efforts to browbeat the Fed into sharply cutting interest rates and otherwise gain more control over Fed policymaking. Unlike any other president, Trump has repeatedly berated Fed Chair Jerome Powell and threatened to fire him. Powell and the Fed have so far resisted Trump's pressure campaign, but that could change over time as Powell and other Fed policymakers serve out their terms and Trump nominates replacements. S&P also referred to the importance of "transparent and timely statistical information" to the dynamism of the US economy. That sounds like an oblique reference to Trump's recent firing of the economist overseeing the jobs report after it showed a startling slowdown in hiring. Trump falsely claimed the data was "rigged" and nominated a partisan replacement who suggested suspending the monthly jobs report. S&P is indicating it would view such a move as credit-negative. The Trump tariffs remain a risk in themselves. S&P foresees relatively weak GDP growth of 1.7% this year and 1.6% in 2026, down from 2.8% in 2024. That slowdown comes in large part from the added cost and uncertainty of Trump's tariffs, plus a slowdown in labor force growth due to Trump's strict immigration policies. Most forecasters agree that Trump's policies will bring slower growth, with fewer jobs and perhaps higher inflation. The blessing for Trump and for most Americans is that the US economy is a dynamo that's hard to repress, even with questionable policies. Trump and most other presidents credit themselves for a resilient economy that would do just fine without them, and maybe perform even better. Rick Newman is a senior columnist for Yahoo Finance.

Fed's Bowman suggests allowing central bank staff to own small amounts of crypto products
By Pete Schroeder WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Federal Reserve's top regulatory official suggested on Tuesday that central bank staff should be permitted to own small amounts of crypto products, arguing experience would better inform their work policing activities in those financial markets. Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman said easing restrictions on staff investments may also help recruit and retain expert bank examiners, and "de minimus" holdings of crypto and other digital assets would help staff develop a working understanding of those products. "There's no replacement for experimenting and understanding how that ownership and transfer process flows," she said in prepared remarks delivered to a crypto conference in Wyoming. "I certainly wouldn't trust someone to teach me to ski if they'd never put on skis, regardless of how many books and articles they have read, or even wrote, about it." Bowman did not offer specifics in terms of amounts or types of holdings she was considering, but her remarks serve as the latest indication of the friendlier tone regulators in the Trump administration are taking towards the crypto sector. Under Trump, the Fed and other bank regulators have already taken several steps to be more open to crypto activities by banks, after years of requiring banks to clear additional hurdles before diving into the sector. Throughout her remarks, Bowman emphasized that bank regulators need to be less skeptical of new technologies in the financial sector, including crypto products. She accused bank watchdogs of having an "overly cautious mindset," which she argued could actually hinder the banking sector by placing undue restrictions on activities. "We must choose whether to embrace the change and help shape a framework that will be reliable and durable - ensuring safety and soundness and incorporating the benefits of both efficiency and speed - or to stand still and allow new technology to bypass the traditional banking system altogether. From a regulator's perspective, the choice is clear," she said. Bowman said there are risks that come from any rapid transformations, but she maintained regulators need to acknowledge the potential benefits of those changes as well as potential problems. "Risks may be offset or at least determined to be manageable when we recognize and consider the potentially extensive benefits of new technology," she said.
