Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will give his likely final keynote address at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, amidst significant political pressure and economic uncertainty. His speech will address near-term market sentiment, the Fed's policy trajectory, and its independence. While expected to hint at a September rate cut, Powell may also push back against political interference and potentially revise the Fed's long-term inflation goals. The speech is crucial as it could influence market expectations and the Fed's future actions regarding inflation and unemployment.
