Powell's pivotal speech Friday could see a marked shift from what he's done in the past
Many expect a circumspect Fed Chair Jerome Powell when he makes a speech from Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Friday morning.
"I just think he's going to play it about as down the middle as possible," said Joseph LaVorgna, chief economist at SMBC Nikko Securities America. "He doesn't want to get himself boxed into a corner one way or another."
Markets Thursday braced for an unpleasant surprise, with stocks selling off and Treasury yields climbing.
While the temptation for the Fed now might be to signal it has largely won the inflation war, many market participants think that would be unwise.
With inflation decelerating and the economy still on solid ground, Powell may feel less of a need to guide the public and financial markets and instead go for more of a call-"em-as-we-see-"em posture toward monetary policy.
