The stock market is poised for mixed performance following indications from the Federal Reserve about a possible interest rate cut. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium aims to clarify the central bank’s approach to interest rates, with market sentiment suggesting a high likelihood of a reduction next month due to slowing economic data and labor market concerns. Despite a recent rise in S&P 500 and Dow futures, the indexes experienced declines due to pressure from rising Treasury yields and geopolitical tensions. The market remains volatile as investors seek clarity on the Fed’s plans amid significant economic indicators.
