4) Wall Street seen on the rise after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s hinting at Jackson Hole of a September rate cut.

Well, September rate cut looks to be a done deal. But, we suspect, the Federal Reserve will look at the incoming data points before slashing the rate on September 17th.

The incoming data which we would like to spy with one big eye:

a) The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index (which is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge) will trickle in on Friday, August 29th.

b) The US Jobs report to be wired on Friday, September 5th.

So, Fed’s commitment to independence will be watched closely watched amidst the heat from President Donald Trump and White House officials to lower rates.
