According to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group's “FedWatch” tool, a popular rate-move expectation gauge, traders are seeing a 93% chance of a 25-basis-point rate cut in September.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to give a speech on the economic outlook and the Fed's review of its policy framework next Friday (August 22) at the Fed's annual central banking conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
