Why Is The Upcoming Jackson Hole Summit Important?

EUR/USD:

The Euro was under selling pressure last week despite mounting evidence that the German economy is heading toward a recession.

The US dollar rose versus the Euro after the release of US inflation data. The US CPI increased to 1.8% yoy ahead of the 1.7% forecast. Core CPI, which excludes more volatile items such as food and fuel, unexpectedly ticked higher to 2.2% yoy, versus 2.1% forecast.

In the upcoming week, the FOMC meeting notes will be important releases in the US. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points in their last meeting and they announced it will end the balance sheet reduction program in August, two months earlier. The FOMC meeting Minutes may give a more detailed about Fed Outlook.

Keep your eye on the Fed’s annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which is set to take place from Thursday to Saturday. The meeting is significant for the Global Financial Market as the Federal Reserve will be making keynote speeches. Markets started to price in a quarter-point interest rate cut in September Meeting. 

Moreover, the European Central Bank will publish the minutes of its last rate-setting meeting on Thursday.  The European Central Bank kept rates unchanged in their last meeting. The ECB Chair Draghi indicated the bank was prepared to cut rates in September and consider other options for easing.
