Wall Street saw a quiet start to a key Federal Reserve week, with geopolitics coming into play as President Donald Trump said he hopes to set a trilateral meeting with Russia and Ukraine as the White House welcomed Volodymyr Zelenskiy to discuss a potential peace deal.
Following a series of all-time highs for the S&P 500, the gauge wavered. The Trump administration was said to be in discussions to take a stake of about 10% in Intel Corp. Traders will get a close look at how American consumers were faring in the early days of Trump’s tariff regime when retail giants like Walmart Inc. and Target Corp. report earnings this week.
The yield on 10-year Treasuries rose two basis points to 4.34%. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index added 0.2%. The UK’s 30-year inflation-linked yields hit the highest since 1998. Oil edged up. Gold fluctuated.
A big week is coming up for the central bank as the Kansas City Fed’s annual Economic Policy Symposium kicks off Thursday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The prestigious event in the Grand Teton mountains has been used by Fed chairs as a venue for making crucial policy announcements.
Jerome Powell is expected on Friday to unveil the Fed’s new policy framework — the strategy it’ll use to achieve its inflation and employment goals. He may also drop some hints about the Fed’s thinking ahead of its September policy meeting.
