Wall Street jumped sharply on Friday, with the Dow hitting a fresh all-time high as investors welcomed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks at Jackson Hole. At Jackson Hole, Powell remarked that a shifting balance of risks “may warrant adjusting our policy stance,” signaling a potential willingness to lower the central bank’s policy rate if conditions justify it. “Risks to inflation are tilted to the upside, and risks to employment to the downside – a challenging situation,” Powell added. As a result, the odds of a rate cut in September rose as the chance of a September cut was at ~71% before the speech and rose to ~93% after it.
