The dovish speech by the Fed Chair at the Jackson Hole symposium triggered major market reshuffling, as expectations of rate cuts returned and risk appetite rose sharply. On the other hand, investors are cautious about very aggressive pricing of further cuts, considering the series of inflation and labor market data to be released before the September FOMC.
The post–Jackson Hole excitement should stabilize during today’s session due to the lack of significant macroeconomic data releases. In the nearly empty calendar, we will find the German Ifo business sentiment report, Polish retail sales, and U.S. real estate market data. Nevertheless, after Friday’s moves, volatility should remain subdued today.
