Federal Reserve Jackson Hole Economic Symposium

Jerome Powell, chairman of the US Federal Reserve, arrives to a dinner at the Jackson Lake Lodge during the Kansas City Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium in Moran, Wyoming, US, on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024. With the central bank on the cusp of lowering interest rates from a more than two-decade high, the Federal Reserve chair's comments on Friday will be closely parsed for any hints on how the Fed chief is viewing the economy in the wake of a weaker-than-expected jobs report and further easing in inflation.
