Jackson Hole in One
Well so much for that market euphoria. A lot of market observationists were really expecting a Fed victory lap at the Jackson Hole symposium after CPI came in under the Fed Funds rate for multiple consecutive months. However, Jerome Powell expressed a much different sentiment, saying in his speech that their job is far from over and that they're still aiming for that 2% inflation target. Not the worst outcome given that no one's feeling good about the economy; however, not the best outcome since the people that "ruined" the economy when they thought they were fixing it, are still committed to deploying solutions to fix the economy.
