BlockBeats News, August 18th, Tickmill Group market strategist Patrick Munnelly stated in a report that the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium, set to open on Friday, is expected to be a key moment for the market, where Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will outline the Fed's near-term policy direction.
However, he noted that as usual, differing views from Trump and Bostic could add noise. Munnelly said that noise could come from ongoing discussions surrounding the Fed appointment, potential legal challenges, and changes in the labor market report.
He added, "Ahead of this, the July FOMC meeting minutes released on Wednesday may provide valuable clues to bridging the gap in interest rate prospects." (FXStreet)
