Jerome Powell will likely not provide clear guidance on future interest rate decisions at the Jackson Hole meeting (August 22, 2025), emphasizing data dependency and upcoming economic reports.
"I would not be surprised if Jerome Pal doesn't really provide much clarity in that and simply states that they are still three and a half weeks away. There's still a whole another CPI and PPI report that is set to get released before they even have to decide if they're going to cut rates or pause once again."

If the next CPI report (following August 21, 2025) is higher than expected, the Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates at its subsequent meeting (mid-September 2025) because inflation concerns outweigh labor market issues.
"If we begin to see that consumer price index uh comes in higher than what is expected in that case by the next time that the Federal Reserve actually meets I do not think that there will be any question that they have no position to cut rates because inflation is rising and like they've stated before inflation is a greater concern than the labor market."

If the next CPI report (following August 21, 2025) shows inflation not rising, and the next PPI report is as expected or lower, the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its subsequent meeting (mid-September 2025) to boost the struggling labor market.
"But if it shows that it's still not rising and then PPI comes in as expected or lower than what is expected, then again, they have no reason to not want to cut, especially with no more concern for the inflation aspect and more of a concern of, hey, labor market is still struggling. Let's boost it up. Let's start cutting rates."
