In the latest Ben Squared podcast the resident pairing discuss the outcome of the recent Jackson Hole Central Bank Symposium with the star turn from Fed Chair, Jay Powell, the focus. In the debate we reflect on the dovish interpretation from the market whilst offering our own independent assessment of the speech. The discussion then moves on to cover the recent drama between FOMC Board (and Interest Rate Voting) Member, Lisa Cook, and President Trump. Here we look to determine the degree to which this issue may complicate the path for interest rate policy, both in the near term and in the future. The interest rate debate concludes with some analysis on the market’s take for rate cuts over the next 12 months. The podcast finishes with a review of investment strategy, not least given what a big week it is for US Mega Cap Tech earnings releases.
