Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech was surprisingly dovish. Investors lapped up his words, betting that the first Fed rate cut since last September is now only weeks away. Markets cheered: the S&P 500 brushed against record highs, small caps soared, and Asian equities followed suit. Chinese chipmakers rocketed on expectations of more stimulus and a bold pivot away from Nvidia. Meanwhile, Nvidia itself takes center stage this week with Q2 earnings that could make or break tech sentiment.
The big question is whether US GDP and PCE data will derail the Fed’s dovish tilt—or confirm a...

Markets are on edge ahead of Powell’s Jackson Hole speech. After a string of weak job reports and sticky inflation signals, investors are questioning whether the Fed is still on track for a September rate cut. Market-implied odds of a 25bp move have already slipped from near certainty last week to around 75% today.
Jackson Hole has a history of delivering major policy surprises — from Bernanke’s QE hints to Powell’s 2020 framework shift. Could this be the moment the Fed resets expectations again?
Powell will tell.

Yesterday’s FOMC minutes spooked investors, accelerating the tech-led selloff. Officials remain worried about inflation, signaling they’d act before cutting rates, though the meeting occurred before the weak July jobs data hit. Powell’s speech tomorrow is expected to strike a balance—acknowledging labor market worries but keeping inflation top of mind. The US 2-30 year spread is widening on rate-cut concerns and rising debt costs.
Big Tech continues to weigh on equities, though TSMC futures are up 1.3% and Nvidia rebounded after dipping below $170, hinting at a potential cooling of the tech selloff. Globally, Japan’s 30-year JGB yield is testing multi-decade...

The AI trade may hit a reality check. Nasdaq tumbled as Big Tech names sold off sharply — Palantir plunged nearly 10%, Nvidia slid more than 3%, and other AI-linked stocks from Arm to AMD lost ground following a blunt MIT report showing 95% of companies investing in generative AI are yet to see returns, combined with OpenAI’s Sam Altman warning that valuations have become “insane.”
Intel was the surprise winner, boosted by SoftBank’s $2bn stake announcement after weeks of political drama and government intervention. But even that comes with risks, as questions swirl over whether AI investment is a...

Markets are caught between peace hopes and policy uncertainty. Zelensky’s smooth reception in Washington raised optimism for a lasting truce, putting pressure on oil prices, while fresh attacks reminded traders that risks remain. Crude slipped back below $63pb, but optimism is already priced in.
In individual news, Intel made headlines, tumbling after reports that Washington could take a 10% stake via Chips Act subsidies — a move that could reshape the balance between politics and profit. Meanwhile, European stocks waver, US futures look soft, and yields edge higher into big US retailer earnings, FOMC minutes and Powell’s Jackson Hole address....

Markets are opening the week with hope over fears. Trump’s meeting with Putin brought no new sanctions or tensions, keeping crude under pressure — but the real spotlight is on today’s summit with Zelenskyy and key European allies as Trump will relay Moscow’s demands to end the war. Will progress be made, or will disappointment bring oil bulls back? This morning, US crude rebounds from an early dip. Equities are firm, the US dollar softer, and gold in demand as investors hedge the risks. Next hours will be important for sentiment and direction.
Besides Trump, eyes will turn to Powell’s...

Markets are betting big on Fed rate cuts — with September odds split between a 25bp trim and whispers of a jumbo 50bp move. Softer CPI data fuelled dovish bets, but today’s PPI report could throw cold water on the frenzy if tariff-led costs push prices higher. Bond yields are testing recent lows, the dollar is down for a third straight session, and Bitcoin’s at fresh records. US stocks hit new highs, with small- and mid-caps rallying on lower-rate hopes, while Nvidia slipped after CoreWeave’s bigger-than-expected loss. Abroad, the Nikkei fell on BoJ hike talk, but Japanese tech still looks...
