MNI 2023 Jackson Hole Preview

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

  • Chair Powell’s task in his Jackson Hole keynote speech is to reaffirm the recent turn to a meeting-by-meeting, data-dependent approach to policy while emphasizing that the Fed intends to keep rates in restrictive territory for a lengthy period of time.
  • In this regard it is likely to sound like a bookend to his brief 2022 speech in which he invoked the lessons of the 1970s and 80s to say “we must keep at it until the job is done”, with Powell laying out the “higher for longer” rate landscape for the year ahead.
  • Most analysts expect Powell to deliver a hawkish-on-balance message, and combined with the recent jump in market rates, the bar is set reasonably high for a hawkish reaction.
  • MNI's Preview of Jackson Hole includes what we know so far is scheduled for the event, sell-side analysis, and a run-down of recent Fed communications.
