Fed Chairman Powell is about to deliver an important speech at the Jackson Hole Annual Economic Policy Symposium, an event that has drawn widespread follow from the financial markets. The speech is scheduled to take place at 10 PM Eastern Time on August 22, and various Financial Institutions have made predictions and analyses regarding the potential content of the speech.

Multiple investment institutions hold different views on the content of Powell's speech. State Street Global Advisors believes that Powell may lay the groundwork for a potential rate cut decision in September. UBS predicts that Powell's remarks may hint at the possibility of a rate cut in September. Russell Investments takes a relatively cautious stance, believing that while a rate cut is possible, the extent may be limited to 25 basis points.

The Dutch International Bank pointed out that the recent concerns expressed by three Fed officials regarding the job market may indicate a shift in the official stance of the Fed towards a more moderate direction. This perspective provides the market with a new angle of thought.

However, not all institutions hold an optimistic view. Mitsubishi UFJ Bank believes that Powell may not explicitly mention the specific timing of interest rate cuts during his speech, but will choose to continue assessing economic data before the September policy meeting. Bank of America is skeptical about whether there will be interest rate cuts this year, as they believe Powell may be satisfied with the current low employment growth rate.

Given the divergence of opinions among various parties, the market's anticipation for Powell's speech is becoming increasingly strong. Regardless of the final outcome, this speech will undoubtedly have a significant impact on global financial markets. Investors and policymakers will closely monitor every word from Powell in search of clues about the future direction of Fed policies.
