US EARLY MORNING: Markets tread water ahead of the Fed and ECB heads' Jackson Hole commentary

US PRE-MARKETS:

PRIMER - POWELL AT JACKSON HOLE (15:05BST/10:05EDT): Traders will be looking for clues from Chair Powell as to whether the Fed is near the end of its hiking cycle; Powell is likely to endorse a data-dependent approach, while emphasising the resilience of the US economy. Traders will also be looking to his remarks for any commentary on the r-star rate, to see if Fed officials think this has moved upwards, and whether that implies a higher-for-longer monetary policy outcome. Powell may skirt any near-term guidance on rates, choosing not to pre-judge the outcome of the September FOMC; analysts also think that he may highlight that even when the Fed is done with hikes, policy rates will remain in restrictive territory for some time.

PRIMER - LAGARDE AT JACKSON HOLE (20:00BST/15:00EDT): With several weeks until the ECB announcement, and ahead of next week’s key August flash HICP data, President Lagarde has very little to gain by pre-empting the September 14th confab, or the October 26th meeting, reiterating data-dependence. Referring back to the July meeting, and awaiting the September macroeconomic projections will likely underpin her speeches.
