-- If Treasury and US stock markets are betting on one thing from Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole symposium Friday, it’s this: He’ll play it safe.It’s a critical moment for the Federal Reserve chair as he tries to navigate through a month that saw a gauge of equity volatility briefly spike to a generational high and bond traders going all in on bets that the US central bank is on the cusp of slashing interest rates.
“Jackson Hole speeches have not traditionally led to large yield moves,” JPMorgan strategists wrote on Aug. 16. “It is unlikely the Chair will offer too much granularity on the magnitude or pace of easing given the importance of the upcoming August employment report.” For equities, traders are preparing for a 0.9% move in the S&P 500, based on the cost of at-the-money put and call options, according to Citigroup Inc. That’s down slightly from over 1% a week ago.
