Traders were caught off guard by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s unexpectedly dovish tone at the Jackson Hole symposium.
In his keynote, Powell highlighted softening inflation risks and growing concerns over the labour market, boosting market expectations of a 25-basis point rate cut in September.
The speech ignited a strong cross-asset rally. Equities surged, with the S&P 500 up 1.5% and the Nasdaq advancing 1.9%. Ethereum led digital assets higher, soaring 15%, climbing as high as $4,950 and surpassing its previous November 2021 high of $4,866. Silver also rallied, touching $39 per ounce and moving closer to its 14-year peak of $39.5 reached at the end of July.
Looking ahead, U.S. markets will turn their focus to Nvidia’s upcoming earnings results. Price action shows a series of higher highs and higher lows, but the stock has recently faced resistance near $190. Price potentially remains supported around $170, which aligns with the breakout zone from early August.
