下周，全市场都盯着一个地方：杰克逊霍尔

Group 1 - The Jackson Hole meeting is highly anticipated, with Powell expected to focus on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy framework review rather than revealing the September interest rate decision [1][3] - Market expectations for a rate cut have driven stock prices up, particularly in interest-sensitive sectors, but any contrary signals from Powell could lead to market volatility [3][4] - Powell faces significant political pressure from the Trump administration, which has criticized his reluctance to cut rates and is reportedly considering potential replacements [3][5] Group 2 - The Federal Funds futures market indicates a probability of over 92% for a 25 basis point rate cut in September, with expectations for at least one more cut this year [4] - Recent stock price increases among major homebuilders, such as PulteGroup and Lennar, have outpaced the S&P 500 index, reflecting strong market confidence in a forthcoming rate cut [4][5] - However, this confidence has made the market vulnerable to sell-offs if Powell signals a more hawkish stance than anticipated [5] Group 3 - Economic data presents a mixed picture, with persistent inflation pressures indicated by a 0.3% month-over-month increase in the core CPI and a 0.9% rise in the PPI, the largest monthly increase in over three years [7] - Conversely, the labor market shows signs of cooling, with only 73,000 jobs added in July and significant downward revisions to previous months' data, leading to internal disagreements within the FOMC regarding rate cuts [7][6] - Powell's upcoming speech is seen as a critical moment to assert the Fed's independence and establish long-term guiding principles for monetary policy [8][9]
