Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is set to unveil the central bank's new policy plan during the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium, scheduled for August 21-23, 2025. The symposium, which attracts central bankers, academics, and government officials worldwide, comes at a time when the Fed faces pressure to cut interest rates amid persistent high inflation and a weakening labor market. Powell is expected to signal the possibility of rate cuts, although he has indicated he will not speak on behalf of the Federal Open Market Committee before its September meeting. Market participants are closely watching Powell's remarks, as there is widespread anticipation of a rate reduction at the September 17 FOMC meeting. The Jackson Hole event is considered a pivotal moment for global economic policy, with investors and analysts focused on the Fed's approach to balancing inflation concerns with economic growth prospects.
