Dollar Traders Focused on Powell at Jackson Hole, EURUSD Capable of 1.1775-1.1650 Break?
MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
Heading into the final trading day of the week – but still in the thick of the liquidity doldrums –Fed Chairman Powell’s statement and the PCE update are a beacon.
The S&P 500 and most other risk-leaning assets swooned this past session as market participants readied for this week’s top event risk.
Considering the Fed is actively attempting to avoid market volatility and there is still more than a week until the end of the market’s ‘summer’, is there potential for a serious trend?

While some semblance of stimulus reduction has already begun, the BOE doesn’t seem to think inflation pressures are anything more than transitory.
