Our View

This week starts out with only five economic reports and a boatload of Fed speak as all eyes will shift to the Jackson Hole Symposium. This week’s opening remarks come from Fed Governor Christopher Waller at 9:15 and end on Friday with Powell's speech at 10:00 am ET. 

Again, no hell or high water is going to stop Powell from lowering rates at least 2 times by the end of the year. As I have always said, I am not an economist but when Biden took office, a gallon of regular gas was under $1.60 a gallon. And food prices are still high and I think going higher in some places.
