At the Jackson Hole Symposium, Fed Chair Powell delivered a clear message: Inflation has slowed but remains resilient despite the series of rate hikes since 2022.

Additionally, average hourly earnings are expected to rise by 0.3% monthly and 4.4% annually, with the latter figure seen as too high and inconsistent with the 2.0% inflation target.
