FED: We have very few details so far on next week's annual economic policy
symposium in Jackson Hole hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. We
do know it will run from Thurs Aug 22 through Sat Aug 24, and this year's title
is "Challenges for Monetary Policy".
-The full agenda for Jackson Hole is usually kept under wraps until the Thurs
evening of the event, in this case 2000ET on Aug 22 (at same time as KC Fed
President George makes introductory remarks).
- However we might get a trickle of info prior to this, i.e. other central banks
publishing their President's whereabouts for the coming week. For instance, the
Swedish Riksbank's website shows that Riksbank Pres Ingves will be in
attendance.
- If there's a Powell keynote speech, it could be announced around 1630ET the
Thursday a week prior, i.e. today (as was the case for Yellen in 2017, Powell in
2018).
