Will Jerome Powell signal a jumbo Fed rate cut at Jackson Hole?
Briefly

"It's highly likely Powell will use his Jackson Hole address to declare it will soon be the 'appropriate' time to cut rates. So attention will focus on a narrower question: Will he or won't he signal an openness to a 50-basis-point move? We don't think Powell will shut the door to a 50-bp cut, but he also won't show any particular inclination toward it."
"The highlight will come Friday, when Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaks about the economic outlook in a keynote address at 10 a.m. New York time. With the US central bank approaching a crucial pivot point, it's difficult to overstate how much attention financial markets will be paying."
