The Jackson Hole Symposium, held annually in Wyoming, United States, is a highly significant conference that brings together central bankers, economists, and key players in the global financial market. This year, the event attracted special attention from investors, not only due to the economic issues on the agenda but also because of the anticipation surrounding the speech of Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Following the largest interest rate hike in the last 50 years, the market was eagerly awaiting the next steps in U.S. monetary policy.

Powell announced the beginning of a new phase: the reduction of interest rates in the United States, set to start in September. This cycle reversal, however, is not limited to the direction of the rates but also includes the pace of change. Powell indicated that the reductions could occur in increments of 0.25% or 0.50%, depending on the performance of economic indicators. He emphasized his comfort with the 2% inflation target, especially after a year in which the average inflation rate was 2.5%, and noted that with the recent decline in inflation, the Federal Reserve has room to ease its monetary policy.

Another crucial point addressed was the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate, which, in addition to fighting inflation, aims to ensure full employment—a contrast to the European Central Bank. Powell warned that the U.S. labor market is showing signs of weakening but downplayed the risk that this would lead to inflationary pressures in the coming year. This assessment provides some relief to the market, but it also underscores the importance of upcoming employment data in determining the pace of interest rate reductions.

The cycle reversal was quickly reflected in financial markets. In Europe, stock exchanges rose, reaching the peak of August, reversing a negative start to the month. In the United States, the reaction was even more intense, especially among regional banks and small businesses. Regional banks, which had suffered due to the appreciation of U.S. Treasury bonds amid rising interest rates, now see their positions improve as rates begin to fall, leading to a 6% increase in the index of these banks. Small businesses also posted gains, with a 3% increase, while large corporations remained nearly stagnant.

As for interest rates, the 10-year rates in Europe and Germany fell to around 2.25%, while in the United States, they remained stable at about 3.8%. Despite a challenging start in August, the outlook for the end of the month is positive, especially with the expectation of a more permanent reduction in U.S. interest rates, which could signal lasting relief for global financial markets.
