Bonds & Bullion Bid As Fed Chair Powell Delivers 'Dovish' Remarks From Jackson Hole
Update (1000ET): Well, Powell surprised many with a notably dovish tilt:
*POWELL: SITUATION SUGGESTS DOWNSIDE RISKS TO EMPLOYMENT RISING
*POWELL: SHIFTING BALANCE OF RISKS MAY WARRANT ADJUSTING POLICY
Powell recognizes that the employment picture is significantly worse...
Here's the key paragraph:
Putting the pieces together, what are the implications for monetary policy?
In the near term, risks to inflation are tilted to the upside, and risks to employment to the downside—a challenging situation. When our goals are in tension like this, our framework calls for us to balance both sides of our dual mandate.
Our policy rate is now 100 basis points closer to neutral than it was a year ago, and the stability of the unemployment rate and other labor market measures allows us to proceed carefully as we consider changes to our policy stance.

US-Notenbankchef Powell öffnet Tür für Leitzinssenkung (DPA-AFX)
|
|
Der Vorsitzende der US-Notenbank Fed, Jerome Powell, hat die Tür für eine Leitzinssenkung geöffnet. "Die Stabilität der Arbeitslosenquote und anderer Arbeitsmarktindikatoren ermöglicht es uns, vorsichtig vorzugehen, während wir eine Änderung unserer Geldpolitik in Erwägung ziehen", sagte Powell am Freitag auf der Notenbank-Konferenz in Jackson Hole im US-Bundesstaat Wyoming. Die Veränderung von Risiken könne eine Anpassung der Geldpolitik erfordern. Derzeit wirke diese restriktiv - also dämpfend auf die Konjunktur.. --- Die US-Notenbank hatte den Leitzins zuletzt Ende Juli weiter in der Spanne von 4,25 bis 4,50 Prozent belassen. Bislang stemmte sich Powell gegen Donald Trump, dem die aktuelle Leitzinsspanne zu hoch ist..

“Downside risks to employment are rising,” Powell said in prepared remarks for his keynote speech at the annual symposium, while the possibility of Trump administration’s tariffs having only a short-lived effect on inflation is “reasonable.” --- “With policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance,” he added. His address came amid increasing doubts over whether the Fed has enough impetus to cut rates in September, however the market now appears to be pricing in two more rate cuts by the year end. --- "This is about as explicit a ’we’ll probably cut in September’-type statement as one can expect from the Fed chair," said analysts at Vital Knowledge, in a note..

|
|
Hamburg (www.anleihencheck.de) - Die Rentenmärkte zeigten sich in den vergangenen vier Wochen - auch saisonal bedingt - relativ unverändert, so die Experten von LAIQON.
In den USA würden sich die Anzeichen für eine bevorstehende Zinssenkung durch die Federal Reserve mehren. Die Verschlechterung der Lage am Arbeitsmarkt und die leicht unter den Erwartungen veröffentlichte Inflationsrate hätten die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Zinssenkung im September auf über 90% ansteigen lassen.
