AI Evaluation Notes

The week of August 18, 2025, did indeed feature significant events like the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium (August 21-23, 2025) and the release of FOMC minutes (August 20, 2025), which were cited as reasons for expected volatility. However, market performance during this week does not align with a 'super volatile' outcome. Reports indicate that stocks closed with little change on August 18, 2025, and major indexes hovered near record highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.74% and global stock market performance remained strong. While some specific areas like long-end rates were noted to potentially stay volatile, the overall market was not characterized as 'super volatile' for the entire week.
