Jerome Powell Speech At Jackson Hole Meeting 2023

On August 25, 2023, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will deliver his remarks at the conference. The Fed Chair’s speech will be made amid much anticipation in the context of the uncertainty surrounding the United States’s economic outlook. His comments on the inflation targets in the short term, the Fed’s path towards the 2% inflation target and the corresponding target rate decisions will be closely looked at by market participants.

Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, is also set to speak on the same day as the US Fed Chair. Meanwhile, Powell speech could likely have a volatile effect on the crypto market, which has in the last few weeks slowed down with dip in asset prices.
