Markets Awaiting Clues on September FOMC Meeting from Powell’s Speech

  • Treasury yields remain stable ahead of Fed’s Jackson Hole conference and release of July meeting minutes
  • 2-year, 10-year, and 30-year Treasury yields show minor changes
  • Investors awaiting Powell’s speech for insights on September Federal Open Market Committee meeting

U.S. government debt yields experienced minimal fluctuations as investors awaited the release of the Federal Reserve’s July meeting minutes and the upcoming Jackson Hole conference. The yield on the 2-year Treasury increased by less than a basis point, while the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields declined slightly. Market activity was subdued as traders anticipated Powell’s speech for potential indications regarding the September Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Fed-funds futures suggest a near certainty of a rate cut at that event, but the extent of the adjustment remains uncertain.
